In this work, we demonstrated that through the addition of large organic cation PEABr, the quality of cesium lead halide thin films has been enhanced by controlling the crystallization process and thus the domain size and morphology. As a result, by increasing the PEABr concentration to 40%, the perovskite thin films with a small domain size, highly oriented crystal structure and low defect density demonstrated a lowest amplified spontaneous emission threshold of 7 µJ/cm2. However, further increasing PEABr concentration will result in a slower energy transfer, which limits the population inversion process and thus showed a higher ASE threshold. Using this strategy, by tuning the halide ratio, the ASE emissions were observed over the broad visible range (from 490 nm to 680 nm), demonstrating its wide wavelength-tunability.
