Rare-earth ion-based materials bear many remarkable optical properties that render them highly appealing for lighting and quantum-related applications. However, their small oscillator strength and weak emission often pose limitations. Here, we synthesize and couple Eu(III)-based molecular complexes to nanobeam photonic crystals supporting air modes. A reasonable spatial overlap between the molecular complexes and cavity modes leads to an average spontaneous emission coupling efficiency of 0.19. Our pump power-dependent photoluminescence measurements evidence amplified spontaneous emission from the molecular complexes with an amplification threshold as low as 4.4 W/cm2, likely benefiting from the efficient coupling. These findings suggest that integrating rare-earth ion-based molecular complexes with photonic structures could be a viable approach for regulating their emission characteristics for particular applications.
