Abstract

Realizing dynamic wavelength tunability could bring about tremendous impacts in laser technology, pressure nanosensing, and lab-on-a-chip devices. Here, we demonstrate an original strategy to operate the lasing mode shift through reversible length changes of a CdS nanobelt, which is determined by the direction of piezoelectric polarization. The relationships between the direction of applied strain, the lasing mode shift, and the tunable effective refractive index are elaborated in detail. The correlation between the piezoelectric polarization-induced lasing mode red shift and the blue shift in the wavelength of the lasing mode output caused by the Poisson effect is discussed in depth, as well. Our study comprehensively considers the influence of both the cavity size variations and refractive index changes on the control of the lasing mode and provides a deeper understanding of the strain-induced lasing mode shift.
