| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
ZnO micro-spheres were synthesized by laser ablation in air using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a normal-mode Nd:YAG laser, and their optical properties were characterized.
In order to realize p-type ZnO micro-spheres, P-doped ZnO micro-spheres were synthesized. When a heterojunction was made with P-doped ZnO micro-sphere and Al-doped n-type ZnO thin film, apparent rectifying I-V characteristics was observed. In order to control the lasing wavelength of ZnO micro-sphere, Mg doped ZnO micro-spheres were synthesized. When 5 wt% of Mg was doped, the lasing wavelength was 370 nm, which was shorter by 25 nm, compared with 395 nm for non-doped micro-spheres. We have obtained the UV EL emission from p-n junction consisting of Mg-doped ZnO micro-sphere and p-type GaN thin film.
In order to apply ZnO micro-spheres to sensor system, we have investigated the dependence of the lasing wavelength of ZnO WGM laser on the refractive index of the surrounding material experimentally and theoretically.
