Nano-lasers and nano-LEDs

One-dimensional nanostructures have been of great interest for photonic devices. In this talk I will give a review of the one-dimensional ZnO nanostructures for ultraviolet and visible regions. I will discuss earlier and last results regarding room temperature and low temperature spontaneous and stimulated emission. For lasers we will discuss both optically and electrically pumped lasers. For the LEDs particularly I will discuss the white light emission from LEDs. Substrates like graphene, paper, textile and semiconductors will be discussed. Finally, also results from other devices based on hybrid materials will be analyzed
