Colloidal Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes at Telecom Wavelength with 18% Quantum Efficiency and Over 1 MHz Bandwidth.

ABSTRACT: Developing high performance, low-cost solid-state light emitters in the telecom wavelength bandwidth is of paramount importance for infrared light-based communications. Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) based light emitting diodes (LEDs) have shown tremendous advances in recent times through improvement in synthesis chemistry, surface property, and device structures. Despite the tremendous advancements of CQD based LEDs in the visible range with efficiency reaching theoretical limits, their short-wave infrared (SWIR) counterparts mainly based on lead chalcogenide CQDs, have shown lower performance (≈8%). Here the authors report on highly efficient SWIR CQD LEDs with a recorded EQE of 11.8% enabled by the use of a binary CQD matrix comprising QD populations of different bandgaps at the emission w
