Two-photon pumped amplified spontaneous emission based on all-inorganic perovskite nanocrystals embedded with gold nanorods

CsPbBr3 nanocrystals have attracted great interest owing to their high fluorescence quantum efficiency, adjustable photoluminescence wavelength, and good stability. We report a device that consists of disordered gold nanorods underneath a film of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Two-photon pumping using femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm enables amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) at about 523 nm. In this work, a narrow peak with linewidth of 5 nm is observed when the pump fluence reaches a low threshold of 0.65 mJ/cm2. The results show that plasmonic resonance of gold nanorods improves the emission transition rate and enables low threshold ASE.
