研究目的
Investigating the control of emission species of CdSe core/shell quantum dots to charged excitons (trions) at cryogenic temperatures using a hybrid system of a single quantum dot and an optical nanofiber.
研究成果
The study successfully established a method to control the photocharging of CdSe QDs at cryogenic temperatures, leading to permanently charged QDs with trion emissions. This method opens new avenues for applying QDs in quantum photonics, particularly in fiber-in-line single-photon generators.
研究不足
The study is limited to cryogenic temperatures, and the photocharging mechanism is not fully understood. The technique's applicability at higher temperatures or in different environments is not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves a hybrid system of a single CdSe quantum dot and an optical nanofiber to investigate photoluminescence characteristics at cryogenic temperatures. The method includes varying the wavelength and intensity of irradiating laser light to control the emission species of the quantum dot.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
CdSe QDs with a gradient thick shell with an outermost ZnS shell were used. PL photons around 640 nm were channeled into the nanofiber guided modes.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Optical nanofiber with a waist diameter of 310 nm, cw lasers at 532, 455, 405, and 355 nm for irradiation, optical multichannel analyzer, single-photon counting modules, and a time-correlated single-photon counting system.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The system of QD/ONF was installed into a custom designed cryostat cooled down to 3.7 K. PL spectra were measured with a spectral resolution of 0.3 nm. Photon correlation measurements were performed using two single-photon counting modules.
5:7 K. PL spectra were measured with a spectral resolution of 3 nm. Photon correlation measurements were performed using two single-photon counting modules.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: PL spectra were analyzed to estimate the trion occurrence probability (TOP) by integrating the area of peak 2 and the whole area for peak 1 and 2. Photon correlation characteristics were analyzed to confirm single quantum emitter condition.
