Predesigned perovskite crystal waveguides for room-temperature exciton–polariton condensation and edge lasing

: Perovskite crystals-with their exceptional nonlinear optical properties, lasing and waveguiding capabilities-offer a promising platform for integrated photonic circuitry within the strong-coupling regime at room temperature. Here we demonstrate a versatile template-assisted method to efficiently fabricate large-scale waveguiding perovskite crystals of arbitrarily predefined geometry such as microwires, couplers and splitters. We non-resonantly stimulate a condensate of waveguided exciton-polaritons resulting in bright polariton lasing from the transverse interfaces and corners of our perovskite microstructures. Large blueshifts with excitation power and high mutual coherence between the different edge and corner lasing signals are detected in the far-field photoluminescence, implying that a spatially extended condensates of coherent polaritons has formed. The condensate polaritons are found to propagate over long distances in the wires from the excitation spot and can couple to neighbouring wires through large air gaps, making our platform promising for integrated polaritonic circuitry and on-chip optical devices with strong nonlinearities.
