The ZnO micronails were synthesized by the vapor phase transport method. The heads of the micronails show hexagonal disk structure which is suitable for the whispering-gallery mode lasing microcavity. Under the excitation of a nanosecond pulse at 355 nm, the single-photon absorption induced lasing was stimulated in the micronail with the head diameter of 3.0 μm, the whispering gallery mode and Fabry-Pérot mode lasing were investigated. Under the excitation of femtosecond laser pulses at 804 nm, the second harmonic generation and the three-photon absorption induced photoluminescence were observed from a bulk of micronails, then an individual micronail with the diameter of 9.1 μm was employed to realize the three-photon absorption induced whispering-gallery mode lasing.
