摘要

Abstract

Quantum dot microlasers

as multifunctional optical source components

are of great importance for full-color high-pixel display

miniaturized coherent lighting

and on-chip integrated photonic and electronic circuits. Since the first synthesis of colloidal quantum dots (CQD) in the 1990s

motivation to realize high-performance low-cost CQD micro-/nanolasers has been a driving force for more than three decades. However

the low packing density

inefficient coupling of CQDs with optical cavities

and the poor thermal stability of miniaturized complex systems make it challenging to achieve practical CQD micro-/nanolasers

especially to combine the continuous working ability at high temperatures and the low-cost potential with mass-produced synthesis technologies. Herein

we developed close-packed CQD-assembled microspheres and embedded them in a silica matrix through the rapid self-aggregation and solidification of CdSe/ZnS CQD. This technology addresses the core issues of photoluminescence (PL) quenching effect and low optical gain in traditional CQD laser research. High-efficiency low-threshold CQD microlasers are demonstrated together with long-playing (40 min) working stability even at 450 K under pulsed laser excitation

which is the highest operational temperature for CQD lasers. Moreover

single-mode CQD microlasers are obtained with tunable wavelengths across the entire visible spectral range. The chemosynthesis process supports the mass-produced potential of high-density integrated CQD microlasers

promoting CQD-based low-cost high-temperature microdevices.
