Achieving Circularly Polarized Surface Emitting Perovskite Microlasers with All-Dielectric Metasurfaces

Micro- and nanolasers are miniaturized light sources with great potential in optical imaging, sensing, and communication. While various micro- and nanolasers have been synthesized, they are mostly linearly polarized and thus strongly restricted in many new applications, e . g ., chiral resolution in synthetic chemistry, cancerous tissue imaging, information storage, and processing. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate the circularly polarized surface emitting perovskite lasers by integrating the as-grown perovskite microcrystals with an all-dielectric metalens. The perovskite microcrystal serves as an optical microcavity and produces linearly polarized laser emission, which is collected by a geometric phase based TiO 2 metalens. The left-handed circularly polarized components are collimated by the metalens into a directional laser beam with a divergent angle of <0.9°, whereas the right-handed components are strongly diverged by the same metalens. Consequently, the right-handed circularly polarized components are filtered out, and perovskite lasers with high directionality and pure circular polarization have been experimentally realized.
