Room-temperature exciton-polariton condensation in pressed perovskite microcavities

Abstract Microcavity exciton-polaritons, formed by strong light–matter coupling, are essential for realizing Bose–Einstein condensation and low-threshold lasing. Such polaritonic lasing and condensation have been demonstrated in III–V semiconductors at liquid helium temperatures. However, the complex fabrication of these microcavities and operating temperatures limit their room-temperature practical application. Here, we experimentally realize room-temperature exciton-polariton condensation and polaritonic lasing in a CsPbBr 3 perovskite planar microcavity fabricated by the pressing process. Angle-resolved photoluminescence spectra demonstrate the strong light–matter coupling and the formation of exciton-polaritons in such a pressed microcavity. Above the critical threshold, mass polaritons accumulating at the bottom of dispersion lead to a narrow emission linewidth and pronounced blueshift, further reinforcing the Bose–Einstein condensation and polaritonic lasing in this system. Our results offer a feasible and effective approach to investigate exciton-polariton condensation and polariton lasing at room temperature.
