With the advantages of ultra-high transmission speed, minimal latency, and anti-electromagnetic crosstalk, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are predicted to overcome the bottleneck problems of microelectronic chips in terms of speed, power consumption, and integration density.

Nanowire (NW) lasers with the NW concurrently serving as optical cavity and gain medium are appealing for miniaturized photonic integration platforms, which have advantages of ultracompact footprint, low energy consumption, easy integration, and potential mass production.
