Toward active nanophotonic using colloidal quantum dots

Objective

AQDtive project targets the design of an all nanocrystal (NC) based active imaging setup. This includes the design of a focal plane array (FPA) (ie. a camera) which active layer is made of narrow band gap NCs and which light matter coupling will be designed to enhance the light absorption. Other new functionalities such as a bias reconfigurable spectral response are also targeted to transform NC as viable platform of active nonanophotonics. A second key development of AQDtive is the design of NC-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) with operation from 2 to 5 m. This spectral range corresponds to a spectral window where electroluminescence of NCs is currently not reported and where bright sources remain technologically challenging. A bright LED will then be coupled to a FPA to obtain an all NC-based active imaging setup. Last, to support the development of such device, AQDtive includes a deep investigation of the electronic structure in operando. A unique setup will be fabricated that enable pump-probe photoemission measurements while the device is pumped under resonant (ie. with band edge energy) condition and while device is under operation (ie. under bias application). Moreover, using nanobeam photoemission, I target to obtain a direct imaging of the device energy landscape in operando. Together these objectives will enable a new generation of infrared sensors operated in the extended short and mid wave infrared, that will be collaboratively transferred to industrial partners.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
