contents Present-day liquid-state lasers are based on organic dyes. Here we demonstrate an alternative class of liquid lasers that employ solutions of colloidal quantum dots (QDs). Previous efforts to realize such devices have been hampered by fast nonradiative Auger recombination of multi-carrier states needed for optical gain. We overcome this challenge using type-(I+II) QDs that feature a trion-like optical-gain state with strongly suppressed Auger recombination. When combined with a Littrow optical cavity, static (non-circulated) solutions of these QDs exhibit stable lasing tunable from 634 nm to 594 nm. These results point towards the feasibility of technologically viable dye-like QD lasers that feature wide spectral tunability and, importantly, allow for stable operation without the need for a bulky circulation system, a standard attribute of traditional dye lasers.
