In the infrared, photodetectors are the key components in a wide-variety of applications such as thermal imaging, remote sensing, spectroscopy with newer technologies added to the list such as LiDaR and deep tissue imaging. As the demand for photodetectors increase with a shift towards longer wavelengths, we need high-performance, scalable and low-power consuming alternatives to current infrared photodetector technologies. Colloidal Quantum Dots (CQDs) are nanoscale-sized semiconductors with quantum-confined charges in all 3 dimensions. They can be synthesized in solution and can easily be deposited onto a desired substrate as a quantum dot (QD) film which allows easy integration with current silicon-based technologies. QDs are efficient l...
