Formation of single-mode laser in transverse plane of perovskite microwire via micromanipulation

Opt Lett. 2016 Feb 1;41(3):555-8. doi: 10.1364/OL.41.000555.

Abstract

The synthesized perovskites are randomly distributed and their optical properties are fixed after synthesis. Here we demonstrate the tailoring of lasing properties of perovskite microwire via micromanipulation. One microwire has been lifted by a tungsten probe and repositioned on a nearby perovskite microplate with one end suspended in air. Consequently, the conventional Fabry-Perot lasers are completely suppressed and a single laser peak has been observed. The numerical calculations reveal that the single-mode laser is formed by the whispering-gallery mode in the transverse plane of microwire. Our research provides a simple way to tailor the properties of microwire postsynthesis.
