Microscale Tubes Incorporate Quantum Dots

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Daniel S. Burgess

A team at Max Planck Institut für Festkörperforschung in Stuttgart, Germany, has produced InGaAs/GaAs tubes with InAs quantum dots embedded in their walls. The structures suggest the feasibility of using self-assembly techniques to produce high-quality-factor (Q) resonant cavities coupled with quantum emitters for use in basic research into quantum electrodynamics and in the development of devices — such as low-threshold ring lasers — and of technologies for quantum information processing. The starting material, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, incorporates InAs quantum dots in an...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
