Advances and prospects of lasers developed from colloidal semiconductor nanostructures Prog. Quant. Electron. (IF 10.333) Pub Date : 2018-08-01 Yue Wang, Handong Sun
Abstract Since the first observation of stimulated emission from colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) in year 2000, tremendous progress has been made in developing solution-processed lasers from colloidal semiconductor nanostructures in terms of both understanding the fundamental physics and improving the device performance. In this review paper, we will start with a brief introduction about the fabrication

Quantum coherent nanodynamics by the interplay of localized photons, electron-hole pairs, and phonons Prog. Quant. Electron. (IF 10.333) Pub Date : 2018-05-01 Kiyoshi Kobayashi, Akira Ishikawa
Abstract Intriguing intrinsic properties of light quanta and related topics are reviewed by emphasizing the self-consistency of light-matter interactions and open nano-systems dynamics. It is pointed out that there still remain fundamental and challenging issues related to quantization of a finite nano-system interacting with a massive (i.e., localized) photon field,as well as with a hierarchical or
