Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Optics and Photonics

Background:

  • Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) show promise for solution-processed lasers but are limited by short Auger lifetimes, restricting lasing to femtoseconds.
  • Achieving optical gain thresholds in the nanosecond regime requires significantly higher photoexcitation levels compared to femtosecond operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To engineer perovskite quantum dot superlattices that enable nanosecond-sustained lasing.
  • To overcome the limitations of short Auger lifetimes in quantum dots for laser applications.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a self-assembly strategy using sodium as an assembly director to passivate QD surfaces and induce ordered 3D cubic structures.
  • Utilized density functional theory (DFT) to model inter-QD attraction forces and explain self-assembly and superlattice formation.
  • Investigated exciton delocalization through photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Main Results:

  • Achieved micron-length scale superlattices with optical faceting for feedback, enabled by sodium's strong attractive forces between QDs.
  • Demonstrated enhanced exciton delocalization among QDs, evidenced by a dynamically red-shifted photoluminescence.
  • Enabled nanosecond-sustained lasing with a low threshold of 25 µJ cm⁻².

Conclusions:

  • The developed QD superlattices serve as both the gain medium and the lasing cavity.
  • This approach successfully enables nanosecond lasing from perovskite quantum dots, broadening their applicability in laser technologies.
