The broadband spontaneous emission of excitons in CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is of great interest for the spectral imaging of living organisms or specific substances in the visible spectral region as well as in the biological optical window near the infrared spectral region. Semiconductor QDs that are near the bulk Bohr radius exhibit wide spectral tunability and high color purity due to quantum confinement of excitons within the dot boundary. However, with reducing dot size, the role of the surface-trapped state increases. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) confirms this with a ~3:1 emission intensity decrease from the surface-trapped state compared to the band edge. Large crystal irregularity, dangling ions, and foreign molecules can introduce new electronic transitions from surface-trapped states that provide broad spontaneous emission in the spectral region from visible to near IR in addition to the band edge emission. The time-resolved PL analyzed the fractional contributions of band edge, surface-trapped states, and possible intermediate trapped states to the broad spectral emission in order to characterize the CdSe QDs.

Two-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavities were designed to tailor cavity quantum electrodynamics. Enhancing the spontaneous emission of low-quality factor nanocavity with embedded CdSe quantum dots (QDs) emitters is the aim of this study. Low concentration layer of CdSe QDs was sandwiched between two layers of Si2 N3 membrane using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The modification rate in spontaneous emission of L3 nanocavity up to 2.3-fold has been observed at 629.5 nm in compare to bare cavities. High field confinement in the sub-wavelength regime became an interest field for quantum electrodynamics applications and good platform to study light matter interactions.

Two Factors

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and polyaniline (PAni) were mixed to prepare CdSe QDs/PAni complex. PAni can quench the fluorescence of CdSe QDs. Fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs/PAni complex is related to the size of CdSe QDs and the concentration of PAni. UV-Vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were used to analys the quenching phenomenon. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching is dependent on two factors: on one hand, the Förster resonance energy transfer from CdSe to PAni; on the other hand, PAni can intercept the charge relaxation process of CdSe and lead to the interruption of radiative recombination.

Semiconductor materials are widely used in both optically and electrically pumped lasers. The use of semiconductor quantum wells (QWs) as optical-gain media has resulted in important advances in laser technology. QWs have a two-dimensional, step-like density of electronic states that is nonzero at the band edge, enabling a higher concentration of carriers to contribute to the band-edge emission and leading to a reduced lasing threshold, improved temperature stability, and a narrower emission line. A further enhancement in the density of the band-edge states and an associated reduction in the lasing threshold are in principle possible using quantum wires and quantum dots (QDs), in which the confinement is in two and three dimensions, respectively. In very small dots, the spacing of the electronic states is much greater than the available thermal energy (strong confinement), inhibiting thermal depopulation of the lowest electronic states. This effect should result in a lasing threshold that is temperatureinsensitive at an excitation level of only 1 electron-hole (e-h) pair per dot on average. Additionally, QDs in the strongconfinement regime have an emission wavelength that is a pronounced function of size, adding the advantage of continuous spectral tunability over a wide energy range simply by changing the size of the dots.

Luminescence Efficiency

We have investigated the effect of water (H2O) cooling and heat treatment on the luminescence efficiency of core CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the CdSe QDs was enhanced up to ~85%, and some periodic bright points were observed in wide color ranges during the heat treatment of QDs mixed with H2O. The PL enhancement of QDs could be attributed to the recovery of QDs surface traps by unreacted ligands confined within the hydrophilic H2O molecule containers.

ABSTRACTZnS quantum dots (QDs) chemically synthesized in PVP stabilizing medium have been coated with Zn(OH)2, SiO2and polystyrene (PS) shells as inorganic and organic passivation agents. to synthesize ZnS/Zn(OH)2, ZnS/SiO2and ZnS/PS QDs. PL properties of inorganically passivated ZnS/Zn(OH)2 and ZnS/SiO2 had reported band edge enhancement of 8-10 times, while organically passivated ZnS/PS QDs exhibit tremendous enhancement of band edge emission as much as 10-15 times,. Therefore inorganic and organic coating can passivate trap states of different energies on the surface of ZnS QDs.

Ensembles of~600 AlyIn1−yAs/AlxGa1−xAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL in the visible. At very low excitation intensities, the PL spectrum shows multiple ultranarrow luminescence lines (FWHM ~200 μeV), which are attributed to the ground-state transition of a few dots (4 or less). The temperature and intensity evolution of these sharp lines is then monitored. The temperature-dependent measurements show that the line width and lifetime of the narrow lines remain constant up to the onset of thermionic, emission. Intensity-dependent measurements show that for high excitation density the collective background, emitted by the ensemble of QDs, is enhanced relative to the amplitude of individual ultranarrow lines.
