Toward organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite laser diodes (Conference Presentation)

Electrically-pumped lasing remains an elusive grand challenge for the organic and thin film electronics community. Recently, hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have emerged as promising gain media for tunable, solution-processed semiconductor lasers, sparking interest in the use of these materials for an eventual diode laser. This talk will focus on recent progress toward this goal, including the demonstration of optically-pumped, continuous-wave lasing from methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) as well as an investigation into the nature of quantum efficiency roll-off in MAPbI3 light emitting diodes operated at current densities exceeding 300 A/cm2.
