Description

In this letter, random lasing phenomenon in ZnO powder was investigated using the pump-probe technique. Under 267 nm laser pumping, supernarrow single-mode emission and multi-mode emission were observed by precisely controlling the pumping intensity and the excitation beam size on the sample. The supernarrow emission peaks are much narrower than the normal luminescence and ASE spectra. The time-resolved pump-probe measurement shows that the lifetime of the emission state above the lasing threshold is only a few picoseconds which demonstrates that the formation of supernarrow random lasing bandwidth is due to stimulated emission
