Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nano-optoelectronic materials such as epitaxial 3D semiconductor quantum dots, 2D quantum wells/superlattices, and 2D monolayers are desired for information photonics (e.g., laser diode, photodetector, saturated absorber, micro-cavity or photonic integrated circuit) and quantum photonics (e.g., single or entangled photon emitter). To achieve suitable performances from these devices (e.g., high-speed lasers with low threshold, high working temperature and monolithic wavelength, photodetectors in high detectivity, definite biexciton–exciton photon-pair emission with small fine structure splitting, or efficient nonlinear optics on chip and fiber integrated instead of bulk material), a structure regulation of these nanomaterials is needed, e.g., adding modulated doping or tunneling barrier surrounding, controlling the nanomaterial size and orientation, using a strain-reducing layer or coupled layer for longer wavelength, using biaxial strain tuning to form light hole, controlling the flux sequence to form a sharp interface, or designing proper micro-resonator modes for nonlinear optics or integrated photonics. The structure optimization and its consequent improvement of device performance can be directly reflected in the characteristics (e.g., photoluminescence (PL) or micro-PL spectroscopy, photoresponse spectroscopy) of the material optical properties, such as transient optics, detectivity, or single exciton property in such structures.
The present Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present the current state of the art in the use of structure regulation and physical property characteristics of these nano-optoelectronic materials for optoelectronic devices. In this issue, we invite contributions from leading groups in the field with the aim of giving a balanced view of the current state of the art in this discipline.
