Low-threshold optically pumped lasing in highly strained germanium nanowires

Integrating group IV lasing devices into technologically relevant CMOS architectures has proven challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate low-threshold lasing, which is important for potential electronic and photonic circuits, using strained germanium nanowires as the gain material.
