Halide-perovskite
microlasers have demonstrated fascinating performance
owing to their low-threshold lasing at room temperature and low-cost
fabrication. However, being synthesized chemically, controllable fabrication
of such microlasers remains challenging, and it requires template-assisted
growth or complicated nanolithography. Here, we suggest and implement
an approach for the fabrication of microlasers by direct laser ablation
of a thin film on glass with donut-shaped femtosecond laser beams.
The fabricated microlasers represent MAPbBr

microdisks with 760 nm thickness
and diameters ranging from 2 to 9 μm that are controlled by
a topological charge of the vortex beam. As a result, this method
allows one to fabricate single-mode perovskite microlasers operating
at room temperature in a broad spectral range (550–800 nm)
with Q-factors up to 5500. High-speed fabrication
and reproducibility of microdisk parameters, as well as a precise
control of their location on a surface, make it possible to fabricate
centimeter-sized arrays of such microlasers. Our finding is important
for direct writing of fully integrated coherent light sources for
advanced photonic and optoelectronic circuitry.
Halide perovskites have emerged recently as promising materials for many applications in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. Recent studies of their optical properties suggest many novel opportunities for a design of advanced nanophotonic devices due to low-cost fabrication, high values of the refractive index, existence of excitons at room temperatures, broadband bandgap tunability, high optical gain and nonlinear response, as well as simplicity of their integration with other types of structures. This paper provides an overview of the recent progress in the study of optical effects originating from nanostructured perovskites, including their potential applications.
Meta-optics based on optically resonant all-dielectric structures is a rapidly developing research area driven by its potential applications for low-loss efficient metadevices. Active, light-emitting subwavelengh nanostructures and metasurfaces are of a particular interest for meta-optics, as they offer unique opportunities for novel types of compact light sources and nanolasers. Recently, the study of halide perovskites has attracted an enormous attention due to their exceptional optical and electrical properties. As a result, this family of materials can provide a prospective platform for modern nanophotonics and meta-optics, allowing to overcome many obstacles associated with the use of conventional semiconductor materials. Here we review the recent progress in the field of halide-perovskite meta-optics with the central focus on light-emitting nanoantennas and metasurfaces for the emerging field of active metadevices.
AbstractOver the last five years, inorganic lead halide perovskite nanowires have emerged as prospective candidates to supersede standard semiconductor analogs in advanced photonic designs and optoelectronic devices. In particular, CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite materials have great advantages over conventional semiconductors such as defect tolerance, highly efficient luminescence, and the ability to form regularly shaped nano- and microcavities from solution via fast crystallization. However, on the way of electrically pumped lasing, the perovskite nanowires grown on transparent conductive substrates usually suffer from strong undesirable light leakage increasing their threshold of lasing. Here, we report on the integration of CsPbBr3 nanowires with nanostructured indium tin oxide substrates possessing near-unity effective refractive index and high conductivity by using a simple wet chemical approach. Surface passivation of the substrates is found out to govern the regularity of the perovskite resonators’ shape. The nanowires show room-temperature lasing with ultrahigh quality factors (up to 7860) which are up to four times higher than that of similar structures on a flat indium tin oxide layer, resulting in more than twofold reduction of the lasing threshold for the nanostructured substrate. Numerical modeling of eigenmodes of the nanowires confirms the key role of low-refractive-index substrate for improved light confinement in the Fabry–Pérot cavity which results in superior laser performance.
The ability of light manipulation at a sub-wavelength scale of metal halide perovskite-based nanostructures through nanophotonic design were employed for advanced optical and optoelectronic applications. While these nanostructures could be efficiently tuned in the visible spectral range, their operation at infrared wavelengths is still challenging. Herein, we illustrate that islandlike films of lead-free CH 3 NH 3 SnI 3 can generate strong and tunable Mie-type resonances in the near-infrared spectral range. Two critical factors contribute to the Mie resonance propertiesthe microscale geometry is crucial for the initiation of Mie resonances in the particles, while the concentration of free holes formed via the oxidation of Sn 2+ to Sn 4+ modulates the spectral position of Mie resonances. Moreover, coupling the Mie resonances to the photoluminescence peak wavelength results in the enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity. This study offers a platform for the implementation of optically resonant perovskite nanostructures as tunable light emitters for infrared photonics and optoelectronics.
