Abstract:
Type-tunable optical gain performance of core-seeded CdSe/CdS nanorods is studied via two-photon optical pumping. Controlling the exciton-exciton interaction by varying the core and shell size, blue-shifted and red-shifted modes of amplified spontaneous emission are systematically demonstrated and their type attributions are verified by time-resolved emission kinetics.
