Nanoscale lasers sustain few optical modes so that the fraction of spontaneous emission $\beta$ funnelled into the useful (lasing) mode is high (of the order of few 10$^{-1}$) and the threshold, which traditionally corresponds to an abrupt kink in the light in- light out curve, becomes ill-defined. We propose an …
