Lasing from reduced dimensional perovskite microplatelets: Fabry-Pérot or whispering-gallery-mode?

J Chem Phys. 2019 Dec 7;151(21):211101. doi: 10.1063/1.5127946.

Abstract

Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite has attracted great attention recently for its potentials for next-generation green-color lasing devices owing to the relatively high structural stability and the high emission efficiency among the perovskite family. Herein, we explore the origins of cavity modes in CsPbBr3 microplatelets (MPs) lasers by using angle-resolved microphotoluminescence Fourier imaging technique, which is still controversial so far. In-plane Fabry-Pérot (F-P) mode lasing transition to whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) lasing is verified at room temperature, which mostly occurs in large MPs with edge length (L) over 13 μm. The F-P lasing is suppressed upon decreasing L or increasing excitation density, and the WGM lasing is predominant for all MPs at high excitation density. Furthermore, the parity and symmetry of in-plane F-P modes are classified. These results advance the fundamental understanding of lasing modes in planar microcavities as well as their applications in on-chip interconnection and quantum optics.
