One-quantum and zero-quantum multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy are used to study CdSe colloidal quantum dots at cryogenic temperatures. Each technique reveals unique aspects of the electron-phonon coupling dynamics in the material.
We report the room-temperature lasing action from two-dimensional photonic crystal structures composed of a passive Si3N4 backbone with an over-coat of CdSe/CdS/ZnS colloidal quantum dots for optical gain.
