Semiconductor nanolasers as small-scale sources of coherent light have become increasingly important for applications in the data and medical industry for their size, power-efficiency, and modulation speed. Determining the presence of lasing, however, is challenging due to the near-thresholdless behaviour of ultra-efficient devices, which requires going beyond input-output characteristics. The research presented here focuses on a quantum-optical study of a silver-coated InGaAsP nanolaser, accompanied by a full quantum-mechanical semiconductor laser theory; this gives access to the time-resolved single-photon and zero-time-delay two-photon correlation function that holds information about the photon statistics, allowing to identify the onset of coherent emission with confidence. Our theoretical model can match the experimentally obtained data using a single set of realistic parameters that holds not just in a stationary regime, but also when focusing on the temporal dynamics for the investigation of the coherence time. This procedure presents a comprehensive strategy for the identification of lasing while being extensible to those gain materials requiring a more pronounced focus on quantum-material aspects, like TMDCs.
