ZnO is an important material for blue/ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diode or laser diode. The practical application depends to great extend on the crystal quality of ZnO. By a controlled vapor phase transportation growth method we have recently fabricated high quality ordered ZnO nanorod arrays, which may be promising candidates for UV emitting devices. The ZnO nanorods are [0001] oriented single crystals with diameter of 250-300 nm and length of 2.5-4.7 µm, perpendicularly grown on GaN substrate.

The luminescence properties of the nanorods are studied extensively. Low temperature measurements show well separated bound exciton and free A-exciton emission in the UV region of the spectra, indicating high sample quality. By using the combination of a confocal microscopy and a 50 fs Ti:Sapphire laser, time resolved micro-photoluminescence (µ-TRPL) spectra are measured on single nanorods. Power dependent measurements demonstrate lasing behavior of the rods.
