Abstract

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising candidates for solution-processed laser gain materials, with impressive performance in the green and red spectral regions. Despite exciting progress, deep-blue—an important wavelength for laser applications—remains underexplored; indeed, cavity integration and single-mode lasing from large-bandgap perovskites have yet to be achieved. Here, a vapor-assisted chlorination strategy that enables synthesis of low-dimensional CsPbCl3 thin films exhibiting deep-blue emission is reported. Using this approach, high-quality perovskite thin films having a low surface roughness (RMS ≈ 1.3 nm) and efficient charge transfer properties are achieved. These enable us to document low-threshold amplified spontaneous emission. Levering the high quality of the gain medium, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with a low lasing threshold of 6.5 µJ cm−2 are fabricated. This report of deep-blue perovskite single-mode lasing showcases the prospect of increasing the range of deep-blue laser sources.
