The emission properties of bent ZnO microwires with diameters ranging from 1.5 mu m to 7.3 mu m are systematically investigated by cathodoluminescence spectroscopy at T approximate to 10 K. We induced uniaxial strains along the c-axis of up to +/- 2.9%. At these high strain values, we observe a nonlinear shift of the emission energy with respect to the induced strain, and the magnitude of the energy shift depends on the sign of the strain. The linear and non-linear deformation potentials were determined to be D-1 = -2.50 +/- 0.05 eV and D-2 = -15.0 +/- 0.5 eV, respectively. The non-linearity of the energy shift is also reflected in the observed spectral broadening of the emission peak as a function of the locally induced strain, which decreases with increasing strain on the compressive side and increases on the tensile side.
