The characteristic temperature of the ZnO nanoneedle lasers was derived to be 138 K in the temperature range from 300 to 615 K. The cavity length of the random lasers as a function of temperature was determined by Fourier transform spectroscopy. The cavity length decreased with an increase in temperature from ? 14 μm at 300 K to ? 2 μm at 550 K. The optical gain of the ZnO nanoneedle lasers at high temperature is attributed to a self-compensation mechanism in the cavity length., application/pdf}, pages = {011103-1--011103-3}, title = {High-temperature random lasing in ZnO nanoneedles}, volume = {89}, year = {2006} }
