Facile synthesis and optical properties of colloidal quantum dots/ZnO composite optical resonators
Abstract
We present a novel colloidal quantum dot (CQD)/ZnO whispering gallery mode microcavity composite. The whispering gallery mode emission of the CQDs induced by the ZnO microcavity is realized. The resonant properties of the composite optical cavities are systematically investigated, and the obtained results are supported by finite element method simulations. The work presents a new research platform to study light–matter interactions in such a composite microcavity.
