ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2021 Jun 16;13(23):27313-27322. doi: 10.1021/acsami.1c02318. Epub 2021 Jun 8.

Abstract

Considering that the periodic photonic nanostructures are commonly realized by expensive nanofabrication processes and the tunability of structure parameters is limited and complicated, we demonstrate a solution-processed upside-down molding method to fabricate photonic resonators on perovskites with a pattern geometry controllable to a certain extent. This upside-down approach not only reveals the effect of capillary force during the imprinting but also can control the waveguide layer thickness due to the inversion of the perovskite membranes.

Keywords: capillary force; distributed feedback lasers; geometric parameter regulation; room-temperature nanoimprint; upside-down method.
