A vertically arranged nearly parallel array of ZnO nanorods and randomly oriented nanowires has been grown by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on silica substrates and on stainless steel gauze woven from a wire with a diameter of 40 mu m, respectively. The quality of the produced material is high enough to act as a gain medium for stimulated emission in the ultraviolet spectral region. Multiple sharp lasing peaks were realized from single hexagonal nanorods and arrays of hexagonal ZnO nanorods. The lasing peaks display successive onset and saturation with increasing excitation power density and fit well the expected resonance spectrum of guided modes in hexagonal nanorods. The behavior of lasing spectra from shot to shot of pumping in randomly oriented nanowires along with the independence of the lasing threshold on the excitation spot area suggest that the emission spectrum results from the superposition of lasing modes in individual nanowires, rather than from random lasing due to photon coherent scattering.
