The miniaturization of semiconductor nanolasers has created an avenue to (near) thresholdless devices with small footprints for applications in photonics and quantum information. In this regime, the onset of coherent emission, i.e. the threshold, must be determined from a change in the photon statistics of the emission, as output intensity and linewidth provide ambiguous information. We present results from theoretical and experimental studies of telecom wavelength, thresholdless coaxial nanolasers using metallic cavities. These cavities allow to confine light on length scales below the diffraction limit, leading to high field intensities and large light-matter interactions. Our theoretical modeling gives access to time-resolved photoluminescence and fingerprints of the emission’s photon statistics, given by photon-correlation functions. In modeling of the experimentally obtained data, we demonstrate a clear onset of coherent emission at finite pump powers. Our combination of experimental and theoretical techniques results in a comprehensive picture of the device dynamics, verifying its lasing operation and providing directions for future experimental designs of nanolasers.
