Abstract
A composite including a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals distributed in a metal oxide matrix can be used as an optical amplifier, a waveguide or a laser.
Claims21
A composite comprising:
- a plurality of semiconductor nanocrystals incorporated in an inorganic matrix.
A waveguide comprising a plurality of layers, at least one layer containing a first semiconductor nanocrystal in a first metal oxide matrix.
A method of manufacturing a composite comprising:
- providing a semiconductor nanocrystal;
- providing a matrix precursor;
- contacting the semiconductor nanocrystal with a coordinating ligand that includes a moiety that is compatible with, soluble within, or reacts with a matrix;
- contacting the semiconductor nanocrystal with a precursor of the matrix;
- and
- forming a solid from the precursor and the semiconductor nanocrystal.
