Abstract
Strong luminescence and gain is observed for PbS quantum dot (QD) doped glasses at the 1.3 μm communications wavelength under CW and pulsed laser excitation, respectively, at 980 nm. Thermal treatment of an oxide molten glass is an inexpensive method to manufacture semiconductor quantum dot doped glasses with well-defined exciton peaks and small inhomogeneous broadening. The PbS QDs studied here have radii much smaller than the bulk exciton Bohr radius providing strong quantum confinement effects. As a result, the exciton resonances can be tuned to the communication wavelengths of 1.3 and 1.55 μm by varying the QD size.
