Red–Green–Blue Light Emission from Composition Tunable Semiconductor Micro‐Tripods

Abstract

AbstractMicro/nanoscale lasers that span the entire visible spectrum, especially those in red, green, and blue colors, are not only essential for a variety of optical devices but also have important applications in visible color communication, multi‐color fluorescence sensing, and wavelength division multiplexing. Despite the great efforts made to achieve multi‐color lasing using a variety of approaches, on‐chip white light emission and even red, green, and blue multi‐color lasers still suffer from considerable challenges in micro‐nano structures. Here, CdSxSe1−x, CdS, and ZnS micro‐tripod structures are successfully prepared using chemical vapor deposition approaches. The micro‐photoluminescence (µ‐PL) spectra and PL‐mapping of these micro‐tripods reveal various emissions at 630, 508, and 460 nm, respectively. Additionally, white‐light emissions based on these composition‐tunable tripods are realized through an end‐coupling structure system. Moreover, room‐temperature modes tunable lasers are observed clearly from three legs of these micro‐tripods, with a low threshold of ≈48.39 µJ cm−2 and a high quality factor of 1227.3. The realization of micro‐tripods‐based lasers may provide an innovative way for highly integrated photonic circuits and communications.
