Abstract

Recently, exciton-polaritons in lead halide perovskite microcavities have been extensively investigated to address striking phenomena such as polariton condensation and quantum emulation. However, a critical step in advancing these findings into practical applications, i.e., realizing electrically pumped perovskite polariton light-emitting devices, has not yet been presented. Here, we devise a new method to combine the device with a microcavity and report the first halide perovskite polariton light-emitting device. Specifically, the device is based on a CsPbBr3 capacitive structure, which can inject the electrons and holes from the same electrode, conducive to the formation of excitons and simultaneously maintaining the high quality of the microcavity. In addition, highly polarized polariton emissions have been demonstrated due to the optical birefringence in the CsPbBr3 microplate. This work paves the way for realizing practical polaritonic devices such as high-speed light-emitting devices for information communications and inversionless electrically pumped lasers based on perovskites.
