Abstract
We introduce a novel microscopy technique that utilizes optically pumped, nano-lasers as imaging probes. The lasing threshold and narrow spectrum of laser particles enables optical sectioning, sub-diffraction, and low-background imaging. Using nanowire lasers, we demonstrate ~180 nm resolution with large beam sizes of a few microns (>10-fold enhancement).
