Our findings corroborate the potential importance of narrow-band gap perovskite QDs for developing highly efficient energy conversion optoelectronics. (b) In 2022, we observed the abnormal nonlinear absorption process in quasi-two-dimensional perovskite film with a low threshold conversion from reverse saturable absorption to saturable absorption. These results provide fresh insights into the NLA mechanisms in low-dimensional perovskites, which may pave a promising way to diversify the NLO material applications. (c) In 2021, with a single femtosecond laser pulse excitation, we achieved the double-pulsed stimulated emission with nearly Auger-free emission from metal-halide perovskite multiple quantum wells. These insights enable a fresh approach to multiply the ultrashort laser pulse by a low-threshold gain medium. (d) The schematic figures of our developed/applied ultrafast optical spectroscopy techniques in our lab, which mainly include pump/probe, micro-transient absorption, optical pump terahertz probe, and micro/macro-time-resolved photoluminescence.
