Ultrafast Laser Excitation of ZnO: A First-Principles Study — •Xiao Chen and Silvana Botti — Institut für Festkörpertheorie und -optik, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, Max-Wien-Platz 1, 07743 Jena, Germany

Laser device miniaturization is a focused area of nano optics, and ZnO nanowire lasers are attracting large interest in this context. ZnO is a well studied gain medium, and the faceted cylindrical geometry of ZnO nanowires forms a waveguide cavity. Recent experiments [1] focused on the pumping phase, and more specifically the multi-photon absorption and tunneling regimes. In this presentation, we discuss first-principles calculations of electronic excitations in ZnO, driven by strong lasers. These simulations were realized using time-dependent density functional theory, implemented in the open source code Octopus [2].
