Abstract Cesium lead halide perovskites are of interest for light‐emitting diodes and lasers. So far, thin‐films CsPbX 3 have typically afforded very low photoluminescence quantum yields (PL‐QY < 20%) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) only at cryogenic temperatures, as defect related nonradiative recombination dominated room temperature (RT). There is a current belief that, efficient light from RT, the charge carriers/excitons need to be confined on nanometer scale, like in...

Silicon photonics offers tremendous potential for inexpensive high-yield photonic-electronic integration. Besides conventional dielectric waveguides, plasmonic structures can also be efficiently realized on the silicon photonic platform, reducing device footprint by more than an order of magnitude. However, neither nor metals exhibit appreciable second-order optical nonlinearities, thereby making efficient electro-optic modulators challenging to realize. These deficiencies overcome concepts...

Thermo-optical tuning of the refractive index is one pivotal operations performed in integrated silicon photonic circuits for thermal stabilization, compensation fabrication tolerances, and implementation operations.
