“…The advent of compact semiconductor lasers has fundamentally changed the pace and nature of miniaturization and enabled the development of new technologies such as optical fiber communications, image scanning, compact disk players, barcode scanners, laser printers, and compact LIDAR systems. 6 Recently, the push for shrinking lasers has provided devices such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), 7 microdisk lasers, 8 and photonic crystal (PC) lasers, 9 some of which are used commercially. While miniaturization has allowed widespread adoption of lasers, the next frontier in laser research lies ahead.…”

The discovery and continued development of the laser has revolutionized both science and industry, enabling a range of scientific advances. The advent of miniaturized, semiconductor lasers has made this technology ubiquitous and an integral part of everyday life. Exciting research continues with a new focus on nanowire lasers, as they have the potential to revolutionize the field of optoelectronics. Here, we review the latest advancements in nanowire laser development and offer our perspective on future improvements and trends. We discuss fundamental material considerations, which include the latest, most effective materials for nanowire lasers. A discussion of novel cavity designs and amplifications methods is followed by some of the latest work on surface plasmon polariton nanowire lasers. Finally, exciting new reports of electrically pumped nanowire lasers with the potential for integrated optoelectronic applications are described.

“…Lasers are one of the greatest inventions ever made and they have become an integral part of our daily life. Lasers are a source for coherent light, which has important applications in industry, engineering, information technology, medicine, defense and science [1,2]. Among the different types of lasers, semiconductor lasers are highly popular and have widespread applications, because of their smaller size, lower power consumption, and cheaper price compared with any other kind of laser.…”

Semiconductor NanoWire (NW) lasers are highly promising for making new generation coherent light sources with the advantages of ultra-small size, high efficiency, easy integration and low cost. Over the past 15 years, this area of research has been developing rapidly, with extensive reports of optically pumped lasing in various inorganic and organic semiconductor NWs. Motivated by these developments, substantial efforts are being made to make NW lasers electrically pumped, which is necessary for their practical implementation. In this review, we first categorise the NW lasers according to the lasing wavelength and wavelength tunability. Then, we summarize the methods used for achieving single-mode lasing in NWs. After that, we review the reports on lasing threshold reduction and the realization of electrically-pumped NW lasers. Finally, we offer our perspective on future improvements and trends.

“…The present model can be reduced to the widespread rate-equation model (see e.g. [26]) by assuming a flat gain (infinite gain linewidth) which is formally stated by adiabatically eliminating the macroscopic polarization P , i.e. by setting ∂P ∂τ = 0 in Eq.…”

We analyze experimentally and theoretically the spatio-temporal dynamics of a highly multimode semiconductor laser with coherent optical injection. Due to the particular geometry of the device (a 1 m long ring cavity), the multimode dynamics can be resolved in real time and we observe stable chiral solitons and domain dynamics. The experiment is analyzed in the framework of a set of effective semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations. We analyze the stability of stationary solutions and simulate both the complete model and a reduced rate equation model. This allows us to predict domain shrinking and the stability of only one chiral charge that we ascribe to the finite active medium response time.
