It is worth noting that the specific excitation light wavelength and intensity can be adjusted according to the material system and the observed stimulated emission signal, in view of the different requirements of different material systems for excitation light.
In the perovskite material (perovskite thin film) with the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well structure, a low-dimensional phase with a wider band gap and a high-dimensional phase with a narrower band gap exist, namely, in the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well material, the low-dimensional perovskite with a wide band gap and the high-dimensional perovskite with a narrow band gap coexist. The excitation light pulse first excites the wide bandgap phase, producing a large number of excitons which are progressively localised to the narrow bandgap phase and which are transported perpendicular to the surface of the wide bandgap perovskite faster than parallel. Thus, the carriers transported in the vertical direction reach the narrow bandgap perovskite first, so that the optical gain of the narrow bandgap phase gradually increases, and when the gain exceeds the loss, the first stimulated emission pulse is generated. The subsequent exciton localization in the parallel direction continues and after a period of time a second stimulated emission pulse is generated. That is, under the irradiation of the excitation light, there are multiple energy relaxation processes between perovskites of different dimensions. This enables two or more laser pulses to be excited with one laser pulse.
The method gets rid of the dependence on a complex optical device in the prior art, only utilizes the intrinsic property of the material, uses the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well material as a gain medium, and realizes the excitation of two pulses by using a single pulse by means of a multi-step energy relaxation process in the material.
The laser multi-pulse obtained by the method can be applied to spectroscopy, optical imaging, optical communication or nonlinear optical fibers, and can be particularly applied to miniaturization and integrated devices.
The features and properties of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to examples.
Example 1
This example provides a network based on (NMA)2(FA)n-1PbnI3n+1Ultrashort double laser pulses of the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well film.
Referring to the figure, a schematic diagram of the preparation process of the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well thin film is shown in fig. 1.
The multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well film is prepared from a perovskite precursor liquid through a one-step spin coating method, wherein the precursor liquid mainly comprises the following components: naphthylammonium hydroiodide (NMAI, C)10H7CH2NH3I)114.45g, formamidine hydroiodide (FAI, NH)2CHNH3I)34.38g, lead iodide (PbI)2)184.40g, 2mL of N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF).
The preparation method comprises the following steps: accurately weighing the reagents, placing the reagents in a glass bottle to serve as precursor liquid, and heating and stirring the precursor liquid at 60 ℃ for about 1 hour to fully dissolve the solute.
In a nitrogen-filled glove box, 50 μ L of perovskite precursor solution is dropped on a cleaned quartz b sheet, spin-coated at 3000rpm to form a film, and then placed on a 100 ℃ hot bench for annealing for 10 minutes.
The schematic view of the microstructure of the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well thin film is shown in fig. 2(a), and the schematic view of carrier transmission in the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well thin film is shown in fig. 2 (b).
The SEM image of the obtained multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well thin film is shown in fig. 3. The results in FIG. 3 show that: the obtained perovskite film is compact, uniform and flat.
The absorption spectrum of the obtained multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well film is shown in fig. 4. The results in FIG. 4 show that: the thin film is self-assembled to form a multi-quantum well structure containing quantum wells with different thicknesses (n), and the quantum wells with n being 2 are the most.
Then, a laser beam having a center wavelength of 400nm (pulse width of about 50fs, repetition frequency of 1 kHz) was used as excitation light, and the excitation light was focused by a cylindrical lens to form a stripe spot of 5mm × 0.2mm and focused on the perovskite thin film. The excitation light intensity is adjusted to be respectively as follows: 2. 4, 8, 11, 15, 23, 25, 35, 40, 50 and 70 muJ/cm2. The resulting emission was collected from the side of the film, introduced into an optical fiber coupled to a spectrometer (Acton, Spectra Pro 2500i) using a pair of lenses, and detected by a charge coupled device (Princeton Instruments, Pixis 400B). The time resolved luminescence spectra were measured using a fringe camera (Optronis Optoscope).
The photoluminescence spectrogram of the multidimensional perovskite quantum well thin film under different excitation light intensities is shown in figure 5. The results in FIG. 5 show that: when the pump light intensity of the multi-dimensional perovskite quantum well film reaches the stimulated radiation threshold value, two independent laser pulses can appear, the pulse width of the two independent laser pulses is 40ps, and the interval time is 70 ps.
In summary, the laser multi-pulse generation method provided by the application is simple in process and low in cost, the metal halide perovskite multi-quantum well material comprises perovskite quantum wells with different thicknesses, the thicker quantum well band gap is narrower, the thinner quantum well band gap is wider, and after a wide band gap phase is excited by excitation light, generated current carriers can be gradually transmitted to a narrow band gap phase. The carrier transport from the wide bandgap phase to the narrow bandgap phase is done in multiple steps due to the different transport rates in different directions. The technology does not depend on complex optical equipment, and is easy to miniaturize and integrate. The obtained ultrashort laser double (multi) pulse can be used in the fields of spectroscopy, optical imaging, optical communication or nonlinear light and the like.
