A tunable external cavity laser operating at excited states of bimodal-sized quantum-dot
摘要： In this paper, a tunable external cavity diode laser (ECDL) based on the first excited states of two independent quantum dot (QD) ensemble has been demonstrated. The device exhibits stabilized lasing with high power of 120 mW. We attribute the excellent output characteristics of the QD ECDL to carrier radiation recombination in high energy states, which has higher degeneracy than low energy states and can accommodate more carriers. The linewidth of ECDL is less than 0.2 nm, which is also much narrower than most of QD ECDLs as reported. Preliminary discussion attributes the spectra feature to the lower QD density and independent carrier transitions. The tunable range is 28.9 nm (970.1 ~ 999 nm) and the wavelength shift with the injection current is 0.7 nm/A.

Passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser using quantum dots CdSe embedded in polymer film as saturable absorber
摘要： We demonstrate a passively Q-switched erbium doped fiber laser (EDFL) based on quantum dots (QD) CdSe as a saturable absorber (SA). The synthesized CdSe powder was embedded into a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using emulsion polymerization process. The film is sandwiched between two fiber connector via an adapter to form a fiber-compatible SA device. By integrating the SA device into the EDFL ring cavity, the stable Q-switched operation is achieved at 1559.35 nm as the pump power is varied within 30–118 mW. The laser has a pump threshold of 20.4 mW. The pulse repetition rate shows an increasing trend from 33.2 to 68.45 kHz, whereas the pulse width exhibits a decreasing trend from 10.04 to 4.30 μs as the pump power is increased from 30 to 118 mW. The highest pulse energy of 11.83 nJ is obtained at a pump power of 118 mW. These results indicate that QD CdSe is a promising SA for Q-switching laser operation.

Graphene quantum dot based charge-reversal nanomaterial for nucleus-targeted drug delivery and efficiency controllable photodynamic therapy
摘要： Graphene quantum dots (GQD), the new zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterial, has been demonstrated as a promising material for biomedical applications due to its good biocompatibility and low toxicity. However, the integration of multiple therapeutic approaches into a nano-sized platform based on the GQD has not been explored yet to our best knowledge. In this report, we regulate the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when using the GQD as a photosensitizer by varying the doping amount of nitrogen atoms to achieve efficiency controllable photodynamic therapy (PDT). On the other hand, charge-reversal (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) was employed to conjugate on the surface of GQD for nucleus targeting drug delivery for the first time. The treatment outcome of produced ROS and nucleus-targeting drug delivery was investigated by fluorescence imaging. The results demonstrated that the N-GQD-DOX-APTES in dual roles as a drug carrier and photosensitizer could achieve nucleus-targeting delivery and strong ROS production simultaneously. This approach provides a promising strategy for the development of multifunctional therapy in one nano platform for biomedical applications.

Photoluminescence Intensity Enhancement of Single Silicon Quantum Dots on a Metal Membrane with a Spacer
摘要： Silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) featuring high photoluminescence (PL) intensity are necessary for the realization of different photonic and photovoltaic devices, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). Herein, Si QDs on a (cid:1)100–200 nm thin silicon dioxide membrane with a metal back-coating are prepared. The dots are formed from the device layer of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer by etching and thermal oxidation. Aluminum is sputtered on the backside of the membrane, acting as a back-surface mirror, changing the local density of optical modes, as well as the local excitation ?eld. The PL properties of such Si QDs are then characterized at the single-particle level. It is found that the PL yield of single Si QDs on the membrane is enhanced by approximately one order of magnitude, compared with that of Si QDs outside the membrane under the same excitation power. These results indicate that advances in nanofabrication can substantially improve the optical properties of Si QDs, thus paving the way for their application.

Polymer spacer tunable Purcell-enhanced spontaneous emission in perovskite quantum dots coupled to plasmonic nanowire networks
摘要： Polymer spacer tunable Purcell-enhanced spontaneous emission in perovskite quantum dots coupled to plasmonic nanowire networks? Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have recently been proposed as a scalable and color-tunable quantum source, but their slow spontaneous emission creates a mismatch with high-speed nanophotonic devices. Here, we demonstrate fast and bright emission in PQD films coupled to silver nanowire networks (NWKs), in which polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is used as a spacer to regulate the lossy characteristics of the plasmonic cavity. Compared with bare quartz, the PVA substrate shows a considerable enhancement effect on the apparent emission intensity, but a reduction in the emission rate of PQD excitons. The efficient NWK–PQD coupling generates an increase in the emission intensity of a factor of 6.0 (average 3.4) and simultaneously a 2.4-fold (average 1.9) enhancement in the emission rate. However, an opposite PVA spacer thickness dependence for Purcell factor and quantum yield is observed, indicating that the fast and bright emission would be a trade-off between the Purcell-enhanced radiative rate and large metal guidance on plasmonic cavity design for perovskite-based nanophotonic devices.

Cancer Cell Targeting With Functionalized Quantum Dot-Encoded Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules
摘要： Imaging agents and drug carriers are commonly targeted toward cancer cell through functionalization with specific recognition molecules. Quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals whose extraordinary brightness and photostability make them attractive for direct fluorescent labeling of biomolecules or optical encoding of the membranes and cells. Here, we analyse the cytotoxicity of QD-encoded microcapsules, validate an approach to the activation of further functionalization with monoclonal antibody Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and already in clinical use for the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer. In addition, we characterize the cell-specific targeting activity of the resultant bio-conjugate by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and real-time analysis of interaction of the conjugates with live HER2 overexpressing human breast cancer cells. We demonstrate, that encapsulation of QDs into the polymer shell using the layer-by-layer deposition method yields highly fluorescent polyelectrolyte microcapsules with a homogeneous size distribution and biocompatibility upon in vitro treatment of cancer cells. Carbodiimide surface activation ensures optimal disperse and optical characteristics of the QD-encoded microcapsules before antibody conjugation. The prepared conjugates of the microcapsules with cancer-specific monoclonal antibody targeting HER2 provide sufficiently sensitive and specific antibody-mediated binding of the microcapsules with live cancer cells, which demonstrated their potential as prospective cancer cell–targeting agents.

Cell Imaging Using Two-Photon Excited CdS Fluorescent Quantum Dots Working within the Biological Window
摘要： In recent years, two-photon excited semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been the subject of intense investigation due to their long excitation wavelength which helps to achieve deeper penetration and higher image resolution in optical bioimaging. In this paper, water-soluble CdS QDs were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and applied to human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. The first-principles calculation suggested that the S-rich defected structure contributes to a narrower band gap compared to the pristine structure. The resulting fluorescence wavelength was significantly red shifted, which was attributed to the deep defect states emission. The large Stokes shifts (> 200 nm) of the QDs can eliminate the possible cross-talk between the excitation light and the emission light. Two-photon induced red fluorescence emission can avoid overlapping with the autofluorescence emission of biological samples. The uptake and cell viability measurements of the HepG2 cells showed a good biocompatibility and a low toxicity of CdS QDs. Two-photon excited scanning microscopy images revealed that the HepG2 cells incubated with CdS QDs emitted bright red upconversion fluorescence and the fluorescence brightness was 38.2 times of that of the control group. These results support CdS QDs as a good candidate for application in cellular imaging.

Probing the light hole / heavy hole switching with correlated magneto-optical spectroscopy and chemical analysis on a single quantum dot
摘要： A whole series of complementary studies have been performed on the same, single nanowire containing a quantum dot: cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and imaging, micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy under magnetic field and as a function of temperature, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and imaging. The ZnTe nanowire was deposited on a Si3N4 membrane with Ti/Al patterns. The complete set of data shows that the CdTe quantum dot features the heavy-hole state as a ground state, although the compressive mismatch strain promotes a light-hole ground state as soon as the aspect ratio is larger than unity (elongated dot). A numerical calculation of the whole structure shows that the transition from the heavy-hole to the light-hole configuration is pushed toward values of the aspect ratio much larger than unity by the presence of a (Zn,Mg)Te shell, and that the effect is further enhanced by a small valence band offset between the semiconductors in the dot and around it.

Structural, morphological, optical and electrical characterization of InGaN/GaN MQW structures for optoelectronic applications
摘要： InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) structures were grown on c-plane sapphire substrate using metal organic chemical vapour deposition technique by varying the MQW periods. The indium composition and thickness were estimated using high-resolution X-ray diffraction. InGaN well, GaN barriers and Indium composition were estimated as 3 nm, 18 nm and 16-18% using epitaxy smooth fit software. Reciprocal space mapping revealed that InGaN/GaN MQW samples were coherently strained. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy exhibit decrease in the surface roughness with increase in the number of InGaN/GaN MQW periods with respect to the number of defects comprising of threading dislocations and hexagonal V-pits. Self-organized In(Ga)N like nanostructures with spiral growth mechanism was also observed due to the low temperature growth of p-GaN layer. The photoluminescence spectra of the MQWs showed a red-shift when the number of QW periods was increased due to quantum confined stark effect. Hall Effect microscopy images confirmed good interface between the InGaN/GaN MQW structures. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy exhibit decrease in the surface roughness measurement displayed good semiconducting behavior in the InGaN/GaN MQW structures. The carrier concentration values also emphasized adequate variations when number of periods was increased.

Microwave-assisted oleothermal synthesis of graphene-TiO2 quantum dots for photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution reaction
摘要： In this work, it was reported the production of graphene-TiO2-quantum dots based on an oleothermal redox reaction. Using concepts of nanoemulsification, an oil-water stable nanodroplets were formed. This emulsion was treated at different temperatures in an oil-based medium. This is an advantage to obtain well dispersed hydrophilic nanoparticles, considering that using water as solvent promotes their agglomeration. The cluster of hydrate titanium is formed inside the water dispersed graphene oxide nanodroplet in the oil medium. This aspect assures a close connection between graphene layers and titanium ions, originating dispersed quantum dots of minimum size. Temperature and time of oleothermal reaction influence the degree of functionalization of the graphene layers and thus the photoluminescence characteristics. For the water splitting characterization, a transparent thin film was obtained using the electrophoresis. It was possible to correlate the degree of oxygen functionalization of the graphene layers with the oleothermal conditions and the generated photocurrents.
