Example 1
1) FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the patterned substrate-based low-threshold optically pumped random laser. Firstly, preparing a patterned sapphire substrate 11 by adopting photoetching and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) etching technologies, and cleaning the surface of the patterned sapphire substrate; the graph of the graphical sapphire substrate is conical, the diameter of the cone is 2.9 micrometers, the height of the cone is 1.9 micrometers, and the distance between the cones is 0.26 micrometer; and then synthesizing CH on the patterned sapphire substrate3NH3PbBr3A perovskite thin film 12 having a thickness of about 5 microns and consisting of a plurality of perovskite grains, the perovskite grains having a size of from 500 nanometers to 5 microns. In the above structure, the perovskite crystal grains serve as both the laser gain material and the light scattering medium.
2) FIG. 2 shows the patterned sapphire substrate-based CH prepared as described above3NH3PbBr3Scanning electron micrograph (top view) of perovskite random laser. The cone array on the patterned sapphire substrate and the prepared CH can be clearly seen from the figure3NH3PbBr3Perovskite crystal grains.
3) Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a device for obtaining random laser by the perovskite random laser under the optical pumping condition. The device comprises: a 400 nm pulse laser source 31, a total reflection mirror 32, a half-transmitting and half-reflecting beam splitter 33, a focusing lens 34 with a diameter of 50 mm and a focal length of 80 mm, and a spectrometer 35 for detecting random laser signals.
4) Under the pumping of 400 nm pulsed laser, CH3NH3PbBr3The perovskite thin film generates a large amount of spontaneous emission light which is randomly scattered among the perovskite crystal grains 41, and the randomly scattered light forms a specific closed optical loop 42, as shown in FIG. 4, when the gain in the closed optical loop is sufficiently largeAnd (4) laser. During the propagation process of these spontaneous emission lights, the patterned sapphire substrate can effectively change the propagation direction at the graphical interface, as shown in fig. 5, so that part of the dissipated light has an opportunity to re-enter the closed optical loop after being reflected by the patterned substrate, thereby improving the optical feedback (or gain) of the closed optical loop, and finally realizing the low-threshold optically pumped random laser output.

The laser spectrum is relatively smooth, the scattering length of the gain material is longer than the mean free path of light propagation, the mean free path is longer than the laser emission wavelength, the obtained light feedback is incoherent, and the generated random laser is incoherent.
6) Changing CH3NH3PbBr3The perovskite thin films with different grain sizes can be obtained under the perovskite synthesis conditions, when the mean free path of light propagation is equivalent to the laser emission wavelength, the obtained light feedback is coherent, and then the generated random laser is also coherent, as shown in fig. 7, the coherent random lasing spectrum of the random laser under different perovskite synthesis conditions is shown.
