摘要

Abstract

Multicolour single-mode polarized microlasers with visible to near-infrared output have very important applications in photonic integration and multimodal biochemical sensing/imaging but are very difficult to realize. Here

we demonstrate a single crystal with multiple segments based on the host-guest metal-organic framework ZJU-68 hierarchically hybridized with different dye molecules generating controllable single-mode green

red

and near-infrared lasing

with the lasing mode mechanism revealed by computational simulation. The segmented and oriented assembly of different dye molecules within the ZJU-68 microcrystal causes it to act as a shortened resonator

enabling us to achieve dynamically controllable mult

icolour single-mode lasing with a low three-colour-lasing threshold of ~1.72 mJ/cm

(approximately seven times lower than that of state-of-the-art designed heterostructure alloys

as reported by Fan F et al. (Nat. Nanotechnol. 10:796–803

2015) considering the single pulse energy density) and degree of polarization

99.9%. Furthermore

the resulting three-colour single-mode lasing possesses the largest wavelength coverage of ~186 nm (ranging from ~534 to ~720 nm) ever reported. These findings may open a new route to the exploitation of multicolour single-mode micro/nanolasers constructed by MOF engineering for photonic and biochemical applications.
