QDots: Promises and Accomplishments (the big pictu
Post# of 22454
"Conclusion
The promise of superior device performance by exploiting quantum-confinement effects has fueled a rapid development in the application of self-organized quantum dots. Advanced optical networks will benefit from photonic devices with improved dynamical behavior using dense arrays of QDs. Devices addressing single QDs proved reliable single-photon generation suitable for quantum communication in the near future . Memory cells with few QDs have proved the potential for non-volatile fast memory devices . Devices with many quantum dots are presently being developed to complement quantum-well-based photonic and electronic devices with large advantages for many systems."
