Claim 0:
1. A nanowire, comprising:
a first semiconductor region;
a second semiconductor region; and
a heterostructure disposed between and coupled to the first semiconductor region and the second semiconductor region, the heterostructure including;
a quantum disk disposed in a first semipolar plane of the nanowire; and
a shell layer disposed in a second semipolar plane of the nanowire;

wherein the nanowire is operable for emitting stimulated emission light having a wavelength in a range of 520-560 nanometers at a current density that is at least an order of magnitude less than ten kiloamperes per square centimeter (10 kA/cm2).
