Abstract
Halide perovskite nanowire-based lasers have become a powerful tool for modern nanophotonics, being deeply subwavelength in cross-section and demonstrating low-threshold lasing within the whole visible spectral range owing to the huge gain of material even at room temperature. However, their emission directivity remains poorly controlled because of the efficient outcoupling of radiation through their subwavelength facets working as pointlike light sources. Here, we achieve directional lasing from a single perovskite CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> nanowire by imprinting a nanograting on its surface, which provides stimulated emission outcoupling to its vertical direction with a divergence angle around 2°. The nanopatterning is carried out by the high-throughput laser ablation method, which preserves the luminescent properties of the material that is typically deteriorated after processing via conventional lithographic approaches. Moreover, nanopatterning of the perovskite nanowire is found to decrease the number of the lasing modes with a 2-fold increase of the quality factor of the remaining modes.
