Lead halide perovskite is a new photovoltaic material with excellent material characteristics, such as high optical absorption coefficient, long carrier transmission length, long carrier lifetime and low defect state density. At present, the steady-state photoelectric conversion efficiency of all-perovskite laminated cells is as high as 28.0%, which has surpassed the highest efficiency of monocrystalline silicon cells (26.7%). In addition to its excellent photovoltaic properties, perovskite is also a type of direct bandgap semiconductor with low cost, solubilization, high fluorescence quantum efficiency and tunable radiation wavelength, which brings hope for the realization of electrically pumped low-cost semiconductor lasers. In recent years, a variety of perovskite lasers have emerged, ranging from the type of resonator, the wavelength and pulse width of the pump source, and the preparation process. However, the current research on perovskite lasers is only about the type of resonator, the type of perovskite and the pump wavelength, but the performance of the laser itself and the practical application of perovskite lasers are still in the initial stages. In this review, we summarize the recent developments and progress of solution-processed perovskite semiconductors lasers. We discuss the merit of solution-processed perovskite semiconductors as lasing gain materials and summarized the characteristics of a variety of perovskite lasers. In addition, in view of the issues of poor stability and high current density required to achieve electrically pumped lasers in perovskite lasers, the development trend of perovskite lasers in the future is prospected.
