Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lasers, and particularly to a perovskite laser and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The existing perovskite lasers usually have a structural paradigm of directly etching a laser cavity on a perovskite material, which reduces the gain region of the perovskite and deteriorates the light-emitting performance. Moreover, since gases such as chlorine gas Cl2 are used in direct etching, impurity perovskites are easily generated, resulting in a mixed light-emitting band, which is not conducive to laser. There are also those that in-situ grow perovskite on an etched cavity of other materials and use perovskite as a waveguide layer. Since perovskite materials generally have a low refractive index and weak light confinement ability, it is required to use a cladding material with a sufficiently large refractive index contrast and a relatively thin perovskite thin film thickness, which is very disadvantageous for device fabrication. Summary of the Invention

The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any combination of one or more of the related listed items.

[0023] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish elements of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first element may also be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element may also be referred to as the first element.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, a perovskite laser proposed according to the present invention, refer to Figure 1 , the perovskite laser includes: The SOI substrate layer 100, on which a resonator cavity 140 is provided; The perovskite layer 200, which is disposed above the SOI substrate layer 100.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows. In this application, a perovskite laser and a preparation method thereof are proposed. The laser is realized by using a perovskite material as a gain layer and forming it on a high-refractive-index material of a prefabricated laser resonator 140. The perovskite laser is easy to prepare and does not change the chemical properties of the perovskite itself.

[0026] Specifically, the perovskite material is used as a cladding layer, and the second silicon substrate layer 130 is a high-refractive-index material (such as Si) as a waveguide layer and a photonic crystal is etched thereon. Finally, the high-refractive-index material can confine the optical mode, and at the same time, enough evanescent waves are coupled into the perovskite material, thereby realizing an effective laser structure. In this solution, the perovskite can be formed by spin coating, drop coating, in-situ growth and other methods, and there is no strict requirement for the thickness of the perovskite.

[0027] In some specific embodiments, the technical solution of the present invention is a planar slab waveguide structure. By fabricating an optical feedback resonator 140 in the waveguide layer and coupling it into the perovskite layer 200, a perovskite laser structure is realized. The laser includes a substrate material, a low-refractive-index cladding layer on the substrate, a high-refractive-index waveguide layer on the substrate (and the optical feedback resonator 140 therein), and three parts of a perovskite material formed on the high-refractive-index waveguide layer.

[0028] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , the SOI substrate layer 100 includes a first silicon substrate layer 110, a silicon dioxide substrate layer 120, and a second silicon substrate layer 130 stacked in sequence.

[0029] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , the thickness of the silicon dioxide substrate layer 120 is 1 μm (micrometer), and the thickness of the second silicon substrate layer 130 is 0.4 μm (micrometer) to 0.8 μm (micrometer).

[0030] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , the resonator 140 is disposed on the second silicon substrate layer 130 by means of pattern transfer and silicon etching.

[0031] Specifically, the pattern transfer and silicon etching are in a sequential relationship.

[0032] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the resonator 140 is a two-dimensional photonic crystal resonator array structure.

[0033] Two-dimensional photonic crystals are optical materials with a periodic structure, which have a modulation of periodically different dielectric constant materials in two directions. Generally, they are composed of a high refractive index material (such as silicon) and a low refractive index material (such as air), and the two materials are arranged in a periodic pattern.

[0034] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the resonant cavity (140) is a one-dimensional distributed feedback Bragg grating.

[0035] The difference between a one-dimensional distributed feedback Bragg grating and an array structure of two-dimensional photonic crystal resonant cavities is that it has a modulation of periodically different dielectric constant materials only in one direction.

[0036] Specifically, the resonant cavity 140 is an array structure of two-dimensional photonic crystals or one-dimensional distributed feedback Bragg grating resonant cavities. Referring to Figure 5 , it shows the photonic crystal design of a square lattice with circular holes. In fact, designs including but not limited to square lattice / triangular lattice, circular holes / triangular holes / double holes, etc. can be used.

[0037] Referring to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the resonant cavity is a two-dimensional square lattice circular hole photonic crystal, which is characterized in that two materials with different dielectric constants are periodically arranged. The period size mainly determines the flat band position of its photonic band, and the hole size mainly determines its one-dimensional and two-dimensional resonance capabilities, which can be designed according to needs.

[0038] Further, referring to Figure 2 , the present invention also proposes a method for preparing a perovskite laser for preparing the perovskite laser, and the method includes the following steps: S100. Based on the wet etching method, the second silicon substrate layer 130 of the SOI substrate layer 100 is thinned to a thickness of 400 nm (nanometers); S200. An optical resonant cavity 140 is formed on the second silicon substrate layer 130 of the SOI substrate layer 100; S300. Surface treatment is carried out on the SOI substrate layer 100. It is ultrasonically cleaned with pure water and acetone for 10 - 60 minutes in sequence, then subjected to ultraviolet ozone treatment for 10 - 60 minutes, and finally cleaned with a plasma cleaner for 1 - 10 minutes; S400. The perovskite solution prepared by the solution method is spin-coated on the SOI substrate layer 100. 0.05 - 0.5 ml (milliliters) of the perovskite solution is used, and it is spin-coated at a rotation speed of 1000 - 5000 r.p.m (revolutions per minute) for 10 - 60 s (seconds). During the spin coating, 0.1 - 1 ml (milliliters) of toluene is dropped onto the perovskite precursor layer as an antisolvent to form a perovskite film; S500. Anneal the prepared perovskite film at a temperature of 50°C - 100°C for 1 - 10 minutes.

[0039] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , use an SOI substrate with a structure of 1 μm (micrometer) of epitaxial SiO2 on a Si substrate, and then 0.8 μm (micrometer) of epitaxial Si on it (i.e., Figure 4 the first sheet), and then perform wet etching on the Si to a thickness of 400 nm (nanometer) (i.e., Figure 4 the second sheet), next form an optical resonator 140 such as a photonic crystal resonator 140 array structure on the Si (i.e., Figure 4 the third sheet), specifically including pattern transfer and silicon etching, and finally spin - coat a layer of perovskite on the structure already having the resonator 140 (i.e., Figure 4 the fourth sheet).

[0040] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 , the step S200 includes: S210. Select a resonator 140 structure whose optical resonance wavelength matches the peak gain wavelength of the perovskite material; S220. Transfer the corresponding resonator 140 structure onto the photoresist by photolithography or electron beam exposure method; S230. Form holes by dry etching method or wet etching method to form a photonic crystal resonator 140 array structure.

[0041] Furthermore, in the step S210, For a defect - free photonic crystal, the optical resonance wavelength is the wavelength corresponding to the flat band of the photonic energy band; For a defective photonic crystal, the optical resonance wavelength is the wavelength corresponding to the band gap of the photonic energy band.
