Nanowire(NW)-based semiconductor-insulator-metal (SIM) plasmonic structures represent a benchmark platform for the next generation of hybrid nanolasers, capable of sustaining sub-wavelength hybrid lasing modes, which, in turn, lead to an overcoming of diffraction-limited mode footprints and an acceleration of the lasing dynamics, when compared to their photonic counterparts. In this work, we report on the realization and optical investigation of hybridized SIM platforms, in which single ZnO NWs are deterministically overlaid onto metal gratings (MGs), FIB-milled into a 70 nm Al layer with a nanometric Al2O3 spacer on top. By performing ns-excitation steady-state micro-PL, we study the spectral and temporal properties of such hybrid platforms, as a function of the cavity geometry (i.e. NW size, grating period and NW-trench orientation) and temperature. We report about room-temperature lasing in some of these hybrid NW-MG structures and lowering of the lasing threshold compared to the planar SIM plasmonic nanolasers.
