Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals that combine the superior light-emission characteristics of quantum-confined materials with the chemical flexibility and solution processability of molecular systems. These attributes make them uniquely well suited for a broad range of light-emitting technologies, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), on-chip lasers, and quantum light sources. Advancing these applications requires close integration of efforts across QD synthesis, optical spectroscopy, device engineering, and theoretical modeling.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore recent advances in colloidal QDs within the context of emerging and established light-emitting technologies. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Recent synthetic developments in luminescent QDs, including infrared-emitting materials;
- Optical spectroscopy of QDs, particularly as it relates to optical gain and quantum-light applications;
- Advances in QD-based LEDs, lasers, LSCs, scintillators, and quantum emitters;
- Theoretical approaches to QD electronic and optical properties.
The workshop welcomes participation from scientists and engineers at all career stages across academia, industry, and government laboratories.
The registration price includes a picnic dinner on Wednesday night as well as a continental breakfast, snacks, and beverages every day of the workshop.
