Tailoring Single‐Mode Random Lasing of Tin Halide Perovskites Integrated in a Vertical Cavity

Abstract

The development of random lasing (RL) with predictable and controlled properties is an important step to make these cheap optical sources stable and reliable. However, the design of tailored RL characteristics (emission energy, threshold, number of modes) has been only obtained with complex photonic structures, while the simplest optical configurations able to tune the RL is still a challenge. This work demonstrates the tuning of the RL characteristics in spin‐coated and inkjet‐printed tin‐based perovskites integrated into a vertical cavity with low quality factor. When the cavity mode is resonant with the photoluminescence (PL) peak energy, standard vertical lasing is observed. More important, single mode RL operation with the lowest threshold and a quality factor as high as 1000 (twenty times the quality factor of the resonator) is obtained if the cavity mode lies above the PL peak energy due to higher gain. These results can have important technological implications towards the development of low‐cost RL sources without chaotic behavior.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
