Wavelength tunable single-mode lasing from cesium lead halide perovskite microwires

Abstract

Cesium lead halide perovskites have shown great potential applications in photoelectric devices because of their high quantum efficiency, good stability, and tunable bandgap. Herein, we prepared CsPbBr3 microwires with a high crystal quality, smooth surface, and rectangular cross section via the solution method. The as-prepared microwires presented a high quality whispering gallery mode lasing with a low threshold of 9.1 μJ cm−2 and a high quality factor of ∼3000. Furthermore, we obtained the alloys of CsPbClxBr3−x (0 < x < 2) microwires through the gas-phase anion exchange method and realized the wavelength tunable single-mode lasing emission ranging from ∼546.8 nm to ∼468.0 nm. This work will expand the practical application of lead halide perovskites in spectrograph, optical communication, and in-chip photoelectric devices.
