Reduction of the wavelength in on-chip light circuitry is critically important not only for the sake of keeping up with Moore's law for photonics, but also for reaching towards the spectral ranges of operation of emerging materials, such as atomically thin semiconductors, vacancy-based single photon emitters, and quantum dots. This requires efficient and tunable light sources as well as compatible waveguide networks. For the first challenge, halide perovskites are prospective materials that enable cost-efficient fabrication of micro-and nanolasers. On the other hand, III-V semiconductor nanowires are optimal for guiding of visible light as they exhibit high refractive index as well as excellent shape and crystalline quality beneficial for strong light confinement and long-range waveguiding. Here, we develop an integrated platform for visible light that comprises gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowires directly embedded into compact CsPbBr3-based light sources. In our devices, perovskite microcrystals support stable room-temperature lasing and broadband chemical tuning of the emission wavelength in range 530-680 nm, while GaP nanowaveguides support efficient outcoupling of light, its subwavelength (<200 nm) confinement, and long-range guiding over distances more than 20μm. As a highlight of our approach, we demonstrate sequential transfer and conversion of light using intermediate perovskite nanoparticle in a chain of GaPnanowaveguides.Here, we develop an integrated platform for visible light that comprises gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowires directly embedded into compact CsPbBr3-based light sources.
