New Paper: Characterisation, Selection and Micro-Assembly of Nanowire Laser Systems

Our collaborative work on the selection, transfer and testing of semiconductor nanowire lasers has now been published in Nano Letters.

In this work, growth colleagues at ANU prepared nanowire lasers which were characterised at Manchester. This characterisation was used to select bins of nanowires, which were transferred using a cutting edge pick-and-place tool at the University of Strathclyde. The transferred wires were re-tested in Manchester; while some wires showed identical behaviour, some showed a change in lasing mode.

This work will guide the heterointegration of nanowire lasers with photonic circuits, targetting high-yield and industrial applicability.
