Abstract
Cooperative emission of photons from an ensemble of quantum dots (QDs) as superradiance can arise from the electronically coupled QDs with a coherent emitting excited state. This contrasts with superfluorescence (Dicke superradiance), where the cooperative photon emission requires a buildup of coherence in an ensemble of incoherently excited QDs via their coupling to a common radiation mode. In perovskite QDs, superradiance has been rarely observed, unlike superfluorescence, due to the challenge in QD electronic coupling. Here, we report superradiance with a very narrow linewidth (<5 meV) and a large redshift (∼200 meV) from the strongly coupled CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> QD superlattice achieved through the combination of quantum confinement and ligand engineering. The superradiance is polarized in contrast to the uncoupled exciton emission from the same superlattice, indicating anisotropic electronic coupling in superlattices. This finding suggests the potential of a perovskite QD superlattice with structurally controllable interdot coupling as the polarized cooperative photon emitters.
