Abstract
The realization of solution-processable laser diodes will open new opportunities in a range of photonic and optoelectronic applications. Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have gained considerable attention for attaining this goal because of excellent optical properties such as readily tunable emission wavelengths and a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield. However, demonstration of electrically pumped lasers using colloidal QDs has not been achieved mainly due to their fast nonradiative Auger recombination that plagues generation of optical gain. Important milestones toward QD laser diodes have been achieved as a result of great progress in suppressing Auger recombination; achievement of low lasing threshold under optical excitation and population inversion and optical gain with electrical injection. These achievements guide us to the next step, which is the incorporation of an optical cavity into the LED structure. Here, we demonstrate a dual functional QD-LED with an integrated optical cavity as a promising device platform for realizing solution-processable laser diodes. These devices work well as both LEDs and optically pumped lasers as a result of careful optimization of refractive-index profile across the device. The remaining challenges to realize QD laser diodes will be also discussed.
