Perovskite Photonics

Organo-metal halide perovskites have emerged in recent years as one of the most interesting and promising materials in the area of photonics. It revolutionized the field of photovoltaics reaching high efficiencies in no time while showing great promise in the field of photonic sources. This family of materials, similar to organic dyes, can be processed without the need of high temperatures and low vacuum simply by spin casting in room temperature. In addition, their wavelength is broadly tunable throughout the visible spectrum. As opposed to organic dyes, these materials are conductive which paves the way towards the realization of electrically pumped laser based on perovskites. In our group we combine our experience in photonic devices such as waveguides, resonators, gratings etc. with perovskite materials in order to explore exciting new applications.
