Abstract

Abstract Metal halide perovskites hold promise for nonepitaxial laser diodes, yet, continuous‐wave (CW) optically pumped (photonic) lasing in CsPbBr 3 remains elusive despite its superior thermal‐ and photo‐stability among the perovskite family. This work reports on CsPbBr 3 vertical cavity surface emitting lasers with low lasing thresholds (1.3 µJ cm − 2 ) at nanosecond pumping and remarkable lasing stability. Furthermore, the electrically switchable gain is achieved in CsPbBr 3 electrically assisted optically pumped laser (EAOPL) devices by leveraging ion migration. Applying a small positive DC voltage to the EAOPL device significantly reduces the lasing threshold under nanosecond laser excitation and enhances the cavity mode intensity at CW laser excitation. These findings present a novel strategy, combining a small DC voltage with an electrical pulse, for exploring electrical injection lasing in CsPbBr 3 perovskites.
