摘要

Abstract

Laser pulse multiplication from an optical gain medium has shown great potential in miniaturizing integrated optoelectronic devices. Perovskite multiple quantum wells (MQWs) structures have recently been recognized as an effective gain media capable of doubling laser pulses that do not rely on external optical equipment. Although the light amplifications enabled with pulse doubling are reported based on the perovskite MQWs thin films

the micro-nanolasers possessed a specific cavity for laser pulse multiplication and their corresponding intrinsic l

aser dynamics are still inadequate. Herein

a single-mode double-pulsed nanolaser from self-assembled perovskite MQWs nanowires is realized

exhibiting a pulse duration of 28 ps and pulse interval of 22 ps based on single femtosecond laser pulse excitation. It is established that the continuous energy building up within a certain timescale is essential for the multiple population inversion in the gain medium

which arises from the slowing carrier localization process owning to the stronger exciton–phonon coupling in the smaller-

QWs. Therefore

the double-pulsed lasing is achieved from one fast energy funnel process from the adjacent small-

QWs to gain active region and another slow process from the spatially separated ones. This report may shed new light on the intrinsic energy relaxation mechanism and boost the further development of perovskite multiple-pulse lasers.
