Scientists Develop Cost-Effective Lasers for Extended Short-Wave Infrared Applications
Lasers of PbS colloidal quantum dots. Credit: ICFO. Current laser technologies for the extended short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range rely on expensive and complex materials, limiting their scalability and affordability. To address these challenges, ICFO researchers have presented a novel approach based on colloidal quantum dots in an Advanced Materials article. The team managed to emit coherent light (a necessary condition to create lasers) in the extended SWIR range with large colloidal quantum dots made of lead sulfide (PbS). This new CQD-based te…
