With intense femtosecond laser excitation, multiphoton absorption-induced stimulated emission and laser emission in ZnO bulk crystal and nanowires have been demonstrated at room temperature. UV-stimulated emission peaks appeared in both bulk crystal and nanowires when the excitation exceeded certain thresholds, and a sharp lasing peak with a linewidth of ~0.5 nm was observed from ZnO nanowires. The emission properties were attributed to the band-edge emission of the recombination of carriers excited by two- and three-photon absorption processes in the wide-bandgap semiconductor.
