As nanoscale coherent sources, nanowire lasers are promising for many applications but traditionally they operate at multi-modes due to the lacking of mode selection capability. In 2011, by folding a 200-nm-diameter CdSe nanowire into high-reflectivity loop mirrors to create coupled cavities, The paper reported the first single-nanowire single-mode laser with low threshold, which paved the way to practical applications of nanowire lasers. This work was highlighted in Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Photonic Spectra.
