Abstract
A multi-quantum-wire laser operating in the one-dimensional (1D) ground state has been achieved in a very high uniformity structure that shows free-exciton emission with unprecedented narrow width and low lasing threshold. Under optical pumping, the spontaneous emission evolves from a sharp free exciton peak to a redshifted broad band. The lasing photon energy occurs about 5 meV below the free exciton. The observed shift excludes free excitons in lasing and our results show that Coulomb interactions in the ID electron-hole system shift the spontaneous emission and play significant roles in laser gain.
