Halide perovskite materials have rapidly emerged as outstanding optoelectronic materials for solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and lasers. Compared to hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, all-inorganic perovskites have shown unique merits that may contribute to the ultimate goal of developing electrically-pumped lasers. In this paper, we demonstrate a distributed feedback (DFB) resonator using an all-inorganic perovskite thin film as the gain medium. The film has a gain coefficient of 161.1 cm⁻¹ and a loss coefficient of 30.9 cm⁻¹. Excited by picosecond pulses, the microstructured all-inorganic perovskite film exhibits a single-mode emission at 654 nm with a threshold of 33 μJ/cm². The facile fabrication process provides a promising route towards low-cost single-mode visible lasers for many practical applications.
