    Quantum dot integrated LEDs using photonic and excitonic color conversion
    (Elsevier, 2011-11-23) Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Nizamoglu, S.; Erdem, T.; Mutlugun, E.; Gaponik N.; Eychmüller A.
    This review summarizes advantages, recent progress and challenges related to the quickly evolving research field of colloidal quantum dot integrated LEDs based on color conversion. We start with presenting a short general introduction to the field of solid state lighting and color conversion phenomena, which are essential for defining the requirements for high-quality general lighting. Subsequently we continue with a brief description of the synthesis of nanocrystal quantum dots and their optical properties together with the advantages of utilizing them in LEDs as color convertors. Following this basic background, we review the recent efforts on quantum dot integrated color-conversion LEDs, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) converted LEDs and FRET-enhanced LEDs. Finally, we conclude with a future outlook on semiconductor lighting and quantum dot integrated LEDs.

    Wavelength tuning of the spirally drawn whispering gallery mode microfiber lasers and the perspectives for sensing applications
    (OSA - The Optical Society, 2017) Yang, Shancheng; Eugene, Tay Yong Kang; Wang, Yue; Zhao, Xin; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Sun, Handong
    Facile and cost-efficient microcavities, as well as the tuning of the optical modes, especially for the application of top-grade optical devices, have been emerging as attractive research fields. In this work, controllable fabrication of the microfiber laser arrays in polymer matrix is achieved by employing the advanced spiral drawing technique. Besides the high-quality whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing, wavelength tuning is also realized by applying external forces on the polymer matrix, which induce slightly enlarged cavity sizes. Furthermore, the perspectives of utilizing the microfiber arrays as force and strain sensors are discussed and demonstrated. � 2017 Optical Society of America.
