Nano letters·2026

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowire lasers can be reshaped into rings, tuning their UV light emission. Changing ring diameter alters optical properties, enabling tunable laser modes for advanced photonic applications.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Materials Science
  • Semiconductor Physics

Background:

  • Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires are established room-temperature ultraviolet (UV) lasers.
  • Nanomanipulation techniques allow for reshaping these nanowires into pseudoring structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of conformational changes in GaN nanowires from linear to pseudoring structures on their lasing properties.
  • To analyze how varying ring diameter affects optical boundary conditions, photoluminescence, and photon confinement.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing nanomanipulation to create pseudoring conformations of GaN nanowires.
  • Performing optical pumping experiments to study photoluminescence and lasing characteristics.
  • Comparing the optical properties of linear and ring-shaped GaN nanowire nanolasers.

Main Results:

  • Reshaping GaN nanowires into rings alters their optical boundary conditions, influencing photoluminescence and photon confinement.
  • A redshifting of ring-mode emission is observed, increasing with decreasing ring diameter.
  • Significant spectral shifts (up to 10 nm) in peak emission were measured for ring resonators compared to linear counterparts.
  • The observed shifts are attributed to conformational changes, not band-gap renormalization.

Conclusions:

  • The conformational transformation of GaN nanowires into rings allows for tuning of laser mode spacing and position.
  • This study demonstrates a method for actively tuning nanolaser emission through structural modification.
  • GaN ring resonator nanolasers offer a pathway for developing tunable UV light sources.
