ACS photonics(2022)
摘要
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are highly suitable active media for solution-processed lasers in the visible spectrum, owing to the wide tunability of their emission from blue to red via facile ion-exchange reactions. Their outstanding optical gain properties and the suppressed nonradiative recombination losses stem from their defect-tolerant nature. In this work, we demonstrate flexible waveguides combining the transparent, bioplastic, polymer cellulose acetate with green CsPbBr or red-emitting CsPb(Br,I) NCs in simple solution-processed architectures based on polymer-NC multilayers deposited on polymer micro-slabs. Experiments and simulations indicate that the employment of the thin, free-standing membranes results in confined electrical fields, enhanced by 2 orders of magnitude compared to identical multilayer stacks deposited on conventional, rigid quartz substrates. As a result, the polymer structures exhibit improved amplified emission characteristics under nanosecond excitation, with amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) thresholds down to ∼95 μJ cm and ∼70 μJ cm and high net modal gain up to ∼450 and ∼630 cm in the green and red parts of the spectrum, respectively. The optimized gain properties are accompanied by a notable improvement of the ASE operational stability due to the low thermal resistance of the substrate-less membranes and the intimate thermal contact between the polymer and the NCs. Their application potential is further highlighted by the membrane's ability to sustain dual-color ASE in the green and red parts of the spectrum through excitation by a single UV source, activate underwater stimulated emission, and operate as efficient white light downconverters of commercial blue LEDs, producing high-quality white light emission, 115% of the NTSC color gamut.
