研究目的
Engineering the direction of quantum dot (QD) lasing by exploiting high-symmetry points in plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) lattices.
研究成果
The work demonstrates that overlapping high-symmetry points (Δ, Γ, and M) in the Brillouin zone with the QD gain can facilitate tunable lasing emission at well-defined angles. By increasing the thickness of the QD film, additional avoided crossings in the band structure were realized, expanding the selection of cavity modes for any desired lasing angle.
研究不足
The technical and application constraints of the experiments, as well as potential areas for optimization, are not explicitly mentioned in the abstract.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The nanolaser architecture consists of CdSe?CdS core?shell QD layers conformally coated on two-dimensional square arrays of Ag NPs. Waveguide-surface lattice resonances (W-SLRs) near the Δ point in the Brillouin zone were used as optical feedback.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Biaxially strained, core?shell QDs with ~
3:2 nm diameter cores and ~7 nm diameter shells were synthesized and spin-cast on the NP lattices into a densely packed film. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
2D square arrays of Ag NPs (spacing a0 = 400 nm, diameter d = 70 nm, height h = 60 nm) on fused silica, CdSe?CdS QDs, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabrication of 2D square arrays of Ag NPs using solvent-assisted nanoscale embossing (SANE) and PEEL processes, spin-casting of QDs on the NP lattices, placement of a PDMS slab on top of the QD film.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations were used to design the plasmonic NP lattice and QD film thickness.
