Abstract

A vertical-cavity surface-emitting perovskite laser is achieved using a microcavity configuration where CH<sub>3</sub> NH<sub>3</sub> PbI<sub>3</sub> thin solid films are embedded within a custom GaN-based high-quality (Q-factor) resonator. This single-mode perovskite laser reaches a low threshold (≈7.6 µJ cm<sup>-2</sup> ) at room temperature and emits spatially coherent Gaussian laser beams. The devices allow direct access to the study of perovskite gain dynamics and material robustness.
