Room-temperature lasing is a key milestone in the development of miniaturized optoelectronic and photonic devices. We present a simple approach to synthesize phase-pure quasi-2D layered tin perovskite nanowires with varying quantum well thicknesses (n = 1 to 4). By incorporating a new organic spacer capable of forming a hydrogen-bonded organic framework, this method promoted anisotropic crystal growth and enhanced lattice rigidity. Furthermore, introducing molecular intercalants enabled controlled crystallization into well-defined nanowires that function as Fabry−Pérot cavities. Cavities made from n = 2 to 4 perovskites support efficient and robust nearinfrared, room-temperature optically pumped lasing with the threshold as low as 75.8 μJ/cm², cavity quality factor over 3000, and negligible degradation over 106 pulses. A cleaved coupled nanolaser was fabricated as a proof-of-concept device for photonic applications.
