Abstract

Quasi-2D halide perovskites have potential in lasing due to their amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) properties. The ASE of (PBA)2MAn-1PbnBr3n+1 thin films has been confirmed by photoluminescence (PL) testing using stripe light excitation (SLE). The ASE threshold decreases with decreasing environmental temperature (TE) or increasing number of inorganic layers (n). Using the transient absorption technique, the Auger recombination and the cooling process of the high-activity carrier are accelerated with the decrease of n or TE. A new ASE mechanism is proposed where high-activity carriers directly emit photons under photon perturbation from adjacent sites, leading to the accumulation and amplification of emitted photons only in the SLE region for ASE to occur. In addition, the reduction of n promotes light scattering between nano-thin layers, which supports a rapid increase in the ASE signal after the ASE threshold is crossed.
