Fabry–Perot Mode-Limited High-Purcell-Enhanced Spontaneous Emission from In Situ Laser-Induced CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots in CsPb2Br5 Microcavities

The patterned metal halide perovskites exhibit novel photophysical properties and high performance in photonic applications. Here, we show that a UV continuous wave laser can induce in situ crystallization of individual and patterned CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) inside the CsPb2Br5 microplatelets. The microplatelet acts as a natural Fabry-Perot cavity and causes the high-Purcell-effect-enhanced (by 287 times) cavity mode spontaneous emission of the embedded CsPbBr3 QDs. The luminescence exhibits a superlinear emission intensity-excitation intensity relation I(p) ∝ p2.83, and the exponent is much bigger than that of the free-space exciton spontaneous emission, suggesting arising of stimulated emission at higher photon concentrations. These laser-driven crystallized and patterned cavity mode luminescent perovskite QDs in a waterproof wider-bandgap perovskite microcavity act as an ideal platform for studying the cavity quantum electrodynamics phenomena and for applications in information storage and encryption, anticounterfeiting, and low-threshold lasers.
