Observation of Optical Gain in InAs Nanocrystal Quantum Dots in a Polymer Matrix
19 December 2005
We report on the first observation of optical gain from InAs nanocrystal quantum dots emitting at 1.55 microns based on a three-beam, time resolved pump-probe technique. The nocrystals ere embedded into a transparent polymer matrix platform suitable or the fabrication of integrated photonic devices.
