Description
In nanophotonics and quantum technologies, photon sources are a ressource which can be integrated into a chip. Cylindrical dielectric microdisks make excellent resonators in which optical gallery modes can propagate at the air/dielectric interface. Using optical lithography, we have fabricated gallery-mode resonators on which we have deposited fluorescent nano-emitters, colloidal quantum dots. These are CdS/CdSe/CdS semiconductors in a spherical core/shell/shell configuration. Of nanometric dimensions, their fluorescence wavelength depends on their size. They can emit single photons, are resistant to photobleaching and are bright under strong excitation. We have deposited these quantum dots in high concentration on microdisks, and excited them with a green laser. The excitons thus created enabled us to achieve a significant gain. We were therefore able to create gallery modes excitonic microlasers. [1]. The aim of this internship will be to study these gallery-mode lasers, and to understand their characteristics as a function of their size, of the excitation when it is close to the laser threshold or more higher...
