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 x I y 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.

Halide perovskites are known to support excitons at room temperatures with high quantum yield of luminescence that make them attractive for all-dielectric resonant nanophotonics and meta-optics. Here we report the observation of broadly tunable Fano resonances in halide perovskite nanoparticles originating from the coupling of excitons to the Mie resonances excited in the nanoparticles. Signatures of the photon-exciton (" hybrid") Fano resonances are observed in dark-field spectra of isolated nanoparticles, and also in the extinction spectra of aperiodic lattices of such nanoparticles. In the latter case, chemical tunability of the exciton resonance allows reversible tuning of the Fano resonance across the 100 nm bandwidth in the visible frequency range, providing a novel approach to control optical properties of perovskite nanostructures. The proposed method of chemical tuning paves the way to an efficient control of emission properties of on-chip-integrated light-emitting nanoantennas.

Cesium lead mixed-halide perovskite thin films were fabricated by using a chemical vapor anion exchange procedure. Optical and structural properties of the materials obtained were studied comprehensively.

Inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanowires, generating laser emission in the broad spectral range at room temperature and low threshold, have become powerful tools for the cutting-edge applications in the optoelectronics and nanophotonics. However, to achieve high-quality nanowires with the outstanding optical properties, it was necessary to employ long-lasting and costly methods of their synthesis, as well as postsynthetic separation and transfer procedures that are not convenient for large-scale production. Here we report a novel approach to fabricate high-quality CsPbBr3 nanolasers obtained by rapid precipitation from dimethyl sulfoxide solution sprayed onto hydrophobic substrates at ambient conditions. The synthesis technique allows producing the well-separated nanowires with a broad size distribution of 2–50 μm in 5–7 min, being the fastest method to the best of our knowledge. The formation of nanowires occurs via ligand-assisted reprecipitation triggered by intermolecular proton transfer from (CH3)2­CHOH to H2O in the presence of a minor amount of water. The XRD patterns confirm an orthorhombic crystal structure of the as-grown CsPbBr3 single nanowires. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal their regular shape and truncated pyramidal end facets, while high-resolution transmission electron microscopy ones demonstrate their single-crystal structure. The lifetime of excitonic emission of the nanowires is found to be 7 ns, when the samples are excited with energy below the lasing threshold, manifesting the low concentration of defect states. The measured nanolasers of different lengths exhibit pronounced stimulated emission above 13 μJ cm–2 excitation threshold with quality factor Q = 1017–6166. Their high performance is assumed to be related to their monocrystalline structure, low concentration of defect states, and improved end facet reflectivity.
