Description

Abstract: Metal-halide perovskites are a class of solution processed materials with
remarkable optoelectronic properties such as high photoluminescence quantum yields and
long carrier lifetimes, which makes them promising for a wide range of efficient photonic
devices. In this work, we demonstrate the first successful integration of a perovskite laser
onto a silicon nitride photonic chip. High throughput, low cost optical lithography is used,
followed by indirect structuring of the perovskite waveguide. We embed methylammonium
lead tri-iodide (MAPbI3) in a pre-patterned race-track microresonator and couple the emitted
light to an integrated photonic waveguide. We clearly observe the build-up of spectrally
narrow lasing modes at room temperature upon a pump threshold fluence of 19.6 μJcm−2. Our
results evidence the possibility of on-chip lasers based on metal-halide perovskites with
industry relevance on a commercially available dielectric photonic platform, which is a step
forward towards low-cost integrated photonic devices.
