Abstract
Silicon nitride is used for its low optical loss and high thermal stability, making it a suitable platform for visible-light applications within integrated photonic devices. However, its application has been limited due to inefficient light emission, a problem addressed by integrating various types of light emitters onto the platform through heterogeneous integration. In particular, the integration of solution-processable colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) as optical gain materials onto the silicon nitride platform is a promising route, but requires a more solid theoretical footing. Recently, demonstrations of lasing employing CdS bulk nanocrystals and CdSe/CdS Quantum Shells using 2D surface emitting photonic crystal structures have shown exciting results1,2 of lasing from green to red. Building on this, we model the light-matter interactions of the low index contrast NC/nitride platform for thorough understanding. This modeling shows the clustering of all the optical modes within a spectrally narrow bandwidth. Related Research Topics
