The field of colloidal synthesis of semiconductors emerged 40 years ago and has reached a
certain level of maturity thanks to the use of nanocrystals as phosphors in commercial …

Lasers and optical amplifiers based on solution-processable materials have been long-
desired devices for their compatibility with virtually any substrate, scalability, and ease of …

Semiconductor nanocrystals represent a promising class of solution-processable optical-
gain media that can be manipulated via inexpensive, easily scalable colloidal techniques …

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are attractive materials for realizing solution-processable
laser diodes that could benefit from size-controlled emission wavelengths, low optical-gain …

The field of nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is already more than 30 years old, and yet
continuing interest in these structures is driven by both the fascinating physics emerging …

I), which were very recently reported as a high efficiency luminescent materials.[19] We
observed low-threshold, wavelengthtunable, and ultrastable stimulated emission (SE) from …

Solid-state room-temperature lasing with tunability in a wide range of wavelengths is
desirable for many applications. To achieve this, besides an efficient gain material with a …

Nanocrystals (NCs) are one of the few nanotechnologies to have attained mass market
applications with their use as light sources for displays. This success relies on Cd-and In …

In this paper, we review recent progress on colloidal growth of 2D nanocrystals. We identify
the four main sources of anisotropy which lead to the formation of plate-and sheet-like …

Two-photon-pumped lasers have been regarded as a promising strategy to achieve
frequency up-conversion for situations where the condition of phase matching required by …
