DOIAbstract
We investigate the optical emission of wurtzite GaP/Al0.4Ga0.6P core/shell nanowires (NWs) transferred to a SiOx substrate to demonstrate a high degree of waveguiding of the emitted photoluminescence (PL) signal. By analysing the Fabry-Pérot mode spacing in combination with calculations of the guided modes in the NWs, we calculate a very high refractive index of bulk WZ GaP of 4.2 at a wavelength of 600 nm. The measured quality factors up to 600 indicate the excellent optical quality of the nanowire resonator.</p
