Abstract

Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites promise next-generation gain media for laser devices. However, most RP perovskite lasers are still suffering from inferior performance characteristics, such as inadequate energy transfer, unstable emission, and short lifetime. To address the above problems, high crystalline quality, compact, and smooth PEA2FA2Pb3Br10 films with uniform phase distribution were successfully prepared by ionic liquid (IL) methylammonium acetate (MAAc) in an air environment. Compared with the PEA2FA2Pb3Br10 film prepared by the traditional solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), an enhanced amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with a lower threshold of 58 µJ·cm-2 from the MAAc-treated film was obtained under nanosecond laser excitation. The transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy revealed that a uniform phase distribution and more efficient energy transfer processes were achieved in the PEA2FA2Pb3Br10-MAAc film, leading to an enhanced band-to-band spontaneous emission process. Furthermore, the films exhibited better stability, showing no signs of degradation under the 120 min pulsed laser pumping in air and stability of ASE spectra at even 95% humidity conditions. This study provides an important foundation for achieving high-performance optically pumped lasers based on the unique RP perovskites.
