Narrow linewidth CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots microsphere lasers

The whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavity has a high-quality factor and small mode volume, for the property of confining photons in a small volume for a long time, which enhances the light-matter interaction. Combining with quantum dots that act as gain medium, it can realize low-threshold and narrow-linewidth microlasers with excellent performance. However, achieving conventional whispering gallery mode lasers still requires complex preparation conditions. Here, we report a narrow linewidth whispering gallery mode lasing from all-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (CsPbBr 3 QDs), illustrating facile and cost-effective properties. CsPbBr 3 QDs with excellent properties were synthesized by hot injection method and used as gain media for lasers, and microspheres as optical resonators. The whispering gallery mode laser with a quality factor Q of 4791 and a narrow linewidth of 0.11 nm was obtained at room temperature. The WGM microlaser achieved by this paper could be a great application prospects in biotechnology. • Fabrication of facile and cost-effective microsphere cavity WGM lasers . • Narrow linewidth WGM lasers generation of perovskite QDs via microsphere cavity. • CsPbBr 3 QDs WGM lasers show application prospects in biotechnology.
