Microfabrication of infrared colloidal quantum dot films for Purcell enhancement.

Abstract

In this proposal, we investigate microfabrication to improve the light collection and radiative relaxation rate in infrared colloidal quantum dots (CQD) for enhanced mid and long-wave IR (MWIR and LWIR) photodetection. The relevance to the Army is new knowledge which will be applicable to any CQD material, and a combined material and fabrication technology that might become ideal for low weight, low cost, low electrical consumption, high-definition infrared sensors. The technology would then benefit personnel, and drones for thermal and hyperspectral imaging in both MWIR and LWIR.
