Ultrafast Lasing Dynamics in a CsPbBr3 Perovskite Microplate

The perovskite microlaser is a competitive candidate of light source for optical communication and integrated photonic circuits. Understanding the fundamental mechanism of lasing is crucial for the upcoming devices. The ultrafast establishment of lasing modes within a 2D perovskite microplate cavity at room temperature is investigated. The transient red shift of lasing modes can be found. Analysis based on electron-hole plasma (EHP) and a dynamic Drude-like model are carried out with simulations on the transient dielectric response and the mode shift. In addition, the integrated lasing gain profile have a red shift at high excitation intensity, which is explained with EHP-induced bandgap renormalization. The conflict between the experimental phenomena and the exciton-polariton theory confirms that under intense excitation, the exciton-polariton is ruled out for the origin of lasing. These results provide a direct understanding of the lasing evolving in a 2D perovskite microcavity. Suppressing the EHP-related transient shift of cavity modes will advance the lasing applications.
