Abstract
- Femtosecond laser ablation based on two-photon absorption was employed to cut ZnO nanorods into uniform ZnO nanoparticles of deep subwavelength size. The fabricated ZnO nanoparticles possess a shorter mean transport length for photons at the emission wavelength and a much smaller scattering cross section at the pump wavelength, leading to highly efficient two-photon-pumped random lasing with a low threshold of ∼8 mJ/cm. It was demonstrated that the significant enhancement in two-photon luminescence after the irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses could also be utilized for realizing optical data storage.
