Abstract

Zinc oxide microribbons prepared via carbothermal reduction route with and without post-annealing in oxygen are studied for their potential laser applications. Post-annealing in oxygen improved the UV emission of the microribbons and decreased the green emission due to intrinsic defects. Temporal analysis revealed fast emission lifetime, higher binding energy and low lasing threshold of 1.8 mJ/cm2. These properties are attributed to Whispering-gallery mode wherein light propagates in the microcavity due to multiple internal reflections.
