Outline of Research at the Start

Our project proposes a nanophotonic laser design for 2D and QD materials, utilizing a low-dimensional material-coupled metasurface for bound states in the continuum (BIC) to achieve an ultra-high Q factor and significantly reduced radiation loss. This design incorporates high-quality, low-defect, wafer-scale low-dimensional materials that eliminate the need for transfer.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Solution-processed laser devices, employing mediums like perovskite colloidal quantum dots (QDs), offer cost-effective options for various applications. CsPbX3 QDs, known for their high photoluminescence quantum yield and tunable emissions, hold promise for nanolasers.
In FY2023, an isolated CsPbBr3 QD cavity atop the TiO2 nanocylinder array has been investigated, enabling a QD cavity-supported laser via bound states in the continuum (BIC) providing strong light confinement. Unlike miniaturized BIC lasers using surrounded boundary photonic crystals, direct fabrication of well-defined QD patterns reduces losses without complex photonic crystal designs.

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

In FY2023, a single-mode BIC laser utilizing CsPbBr3 QDs has been presented, boasting a narrow linewidth of approximately 0.1 nm. Contrasting with conventional QD slab-based BIC lasers, this proposed QD waveguide-BIC laser, supported by CsPbBr3 QD cavity, maintains a low lasing threshold even at small cavity sizes. Crucially, our design enables a miniaturized BIC laser with a device size as small as 10 × 10 um, the smallest among existing solution-processed QD BIC lasers. This study offers a pathway for developing ultra-compact BIC lasers using solution-processed QD gain media.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

In FY 2024, we will demonstrate enhanced light-matter coupling by integrating low-dimensional materials with a membrane metasurface, leading to amplified and concentrated spontaneous emission from quasi-BIC-coupled low-dimensional gain materials. Notably, the membrane metasurface, suspended in air rather than positioned atop a substrate, will minimize radiation loss while enhancing light-matter interaction in the gain materials. This research introduces a nanophotonic platform for robust coupling of membrane metasurfaces with low-dimensional materials, offering new possibilities for developing low-dimensional material-based nanophotonic and quantum devices.
