Highly Emissive Deep‐Red Perovskite Quantum Dots in Glass: Photoinduced Thermal Engineering and Applications

Abstract All‐inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted enormous attention owing to their outstanding linear and nonlinear optical properties along with various promising photonic applications. Herein, 3D direct writing of CsPbI₃ QDs in glass by engineering the ultrafast laser‐induced thermal effect is reported. Erasing and re‐writing along with multilayer writing are also demonstrated. The CsPbI₃ QDs exhibit efficient deep‐red photoluminescence (PL) with internal quantum efficiency of 23%. The CsPbI₃ QDs show strong two‐photon excited PL and optical limiting response to ultrafast laser pulses. The two‐photon absorption (TPA) coefficient is determined to be 9.76 × 10^–11 cm W⁻¹. Furthermore, the technique of photoinduced thermal engineering writing shows generality to pattern CsPbBr₃ and CsPbCl₃ QDs in glass and is also demonstrated to achieve perovskite line structures with a width of 800 nm beyond the diffraction limit. CsPbI₃ QDs in glass have excellent stability under room conditions and ultraviolet light irradiation. The present technique of photoinduced thermal engineering offers a new prospect to directly construct CsPbI₃ QDs in the glass. The attractive linear and nonlinear optical response of CsPbI₃ QDs implies a plethora of potential applications in high‐resolution imaging, optical storage, and optoelectronic devices.
