Manipulation of emitted light by structured lead halide perovskite nanocrystals for photonics applications

2021

Historically, active materials in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have been implemented using III-V semiconductors, glasses, and ferroelectrics doped with rare-earth ions. However, there is a low-cost alternative based on (nano)materials synthesized using colloidal chemistry techniques. Their use in colloidal suspensions allows for the easy integration into any optical architecture via coating or printing techniques. The structure of perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are compounds with general formula ABX3, being A an inorganic or organic bulky cation, B a metal cation such as Pb2+ or Sn2+ and X the halide anion. In this context, all inorganic CsPbX3 (with X = Cl, Br, I) PNCs have recently…
