Organic–inorganic perovskites

Lower threshold for nanowire lasers

Nature Materials volume 14, pages 557–558 (2015)Cite this article

Subjects

Hybrid perovskite is introduced as a new material for nanowire lasers. One-dimensional nanostructures of these perovskites can be optically pumped to lase with tunable wavelength at relatively low threshold, which marks a step towards their use in integrated photonics.
