摘要:
A display device that includes an underlying excitation source, a converting layer, and an optical filter layer. The underlying excitation source emits light in a spatial pattern that may or may not be altered in time and has a short wavelength capable of being at least partially absorbed by the overlying converting layer. The converting layer can be a contiguous film or pixels of quantum dots that can be dispersed in a matrix material. This converting layer is capable of absorbing at least a portion of the wavelength(s) of the light from the underlying excitation source and emitting light at one or more different wavelengths. The optical filter layer prevents the residual light from the excitation source that was not absorbed by the converting layer from being emitted by the display device.

A high-refractive index material that includes semiconductor nanocrystal compositions. The high-refractive index material has at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition incorporated in a matrix material and has a refractive index greater than 1.5. The semiconductor nanocrystal composition has a semiconductor nanocrystal core of a II-VI, III-V, or IV-VI semiconductor material. A method of making a high-refractive index material includes incorporating, at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition in a matrix material. An application of a high-refractive index material includes incorporating at least one semiconductor nanocrystal composition in a matrix material to form the high-refractive index material and depositing the high-refractive index material on the surface of a lighting device.
摘要:
A Fabry-Perot optical switch includes a saturable absorber surrounded by a pair of mirrors. Coupled to the saturable absorber is an input waveguide, an output waveguide, and a control beam waveguide. In the absence of light input to the control beam waveguide, the saturable absorber prevents an input signal on the input waveguide from passing through and being output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “off” state. In the presence of light input to the control beam waveguide and incident on the saturable absorber, the saturable absorber allows the input signal to pass through and be output on the output waveguide, or be reflected and output on the output waveguide, thus placing the switch in an “on” state.
摘要:
A laser gain medium. The novel laser gain medium includes a host material, a plurality of quantum dots dispersed throughout the host material, and a plurality of laser active ions surrounding each of the quantum dots. The laser active ions are disposed in close proximity to the quantum dots such that energy absorbed by the quantum dots is non-radiatively transferred to the ions via a Forster resonant energy transfer, thereby exciting the ions to produce laser output. In an illustrative embodiment, each quantum dot is surrounded by an external shell doped with the laser active ions.
