Formation of Single-mode Laser in Perovskite Nanowire via Nano-manipulation

Perovskite based micro- and nano- lasers have attracted considerable research attention in past two years. However, the properties of perovskite devices are mostly fixed once they are synthesized. Here we demonstrate the tailoring of lasing properties of perovskite nanowire lasers via nano-manipulation. By utilizing a tungsten probe, one nanowire has been lifted from the wafer and re-positioned its two ends on two nearby perovskite blocks. Consequently, the conventional Fabry-Perot lasers are completely suppressed and a single laser peak has been observed. The corresponding numerical model reveals that the single-mode lasing operation is formed by the whispering gallery mode in the transverse plane of perovskite nanowire. Our research provides a simple way to tailor the properties of nanowire and it will be essential for the applications of perovskite optoelectronics.
