Here we report on CdSe/ZnS nanocrystalbased hybrid optoelectronic devices and systems used for scintillation to enhance optical detection and imaging in the ultraviolet range and for optical modulation via electric field dependent optical absorption and photoluminescence in the visible. In our collaboration with DYO, we also present photocatalytic TiO2 nanoparticles incorporated in solgel matrix that are optically activated in the ultraviolet for the purpose of self-cleaning.EnglishElectroabsorptionModulatorsNanocrystalsNanoparticlesPhotocatalysisScintillatorsCrystal structureEmbedded systemsLight absorptionOptoelectronic devicesPhotocatalysisPhotoluminescenceSol-gelsUltraviolet radiationNanocrystalsNanophotonicsPhotonic devicesNanostructured materialsConference Paper10.1117/12.690577
