Sustained Robust Exciton Emission in Suspended Monolayer WSe_2 within the Low Carrier Density Regime for Quantum Emitter Applications
The development of semiconductor optoelectronic devices is moving toward low power consumption and miniaturization, especially for high-efficiency quantum emitters. However, most of these quantum sources work at low carrier density region, where the Shockley-Read-Hall recombination may dominant and seriously reduce the emission efficiency. In order to diminish the affection of carrier trapping and sustain a strong photoluminescence emission under low power pumping condition, we investigated on the influence of Suspending to monolayered tungsten diselenide, novel two-dimensional quantum material. Not only the PL intensity, but also the fundamental photoluminescence quantum yield has exhibited a huge, order-scale enhancement through suspending, even surprisingly, we found the PLQY improvement revealed far significantly under small pumping power and came out an exponential increase tendency toward even lower carrier density region. With its strong excitonic effect, suspended WSe_2 offers a solution to reduce carrier trapping and participate in non-radiative processes. Moreover, in the low-power range where SRH recombination dominates, suspended WSe_2 exhibited remarkably higher percentage of excitonic radiation compared to contacted WSe_2. Herein, we quantitatively demonstrate the significance of suspended WSe_2 monolayer at low carrier density region, highlighting its potential for developing compact, low-power quantum emitters in the future
Circular Dichroism Control of Tungsten Diselenide (WSe<sub>2</sub>) Atomic Layers with Plasmonic Metamolecules
Controlling
circularly polarized (CP) states of light is critical to the development
of functional devices for key and emerging applications such as display
technology and quantum communication, and the compact circular polarization-tunable
photon source is one critical element to realize the applications
in the chip-scale integrated system. The atomic layers of transition
metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit intrinsic CP emissions and are
potential chiroptical materials for ultrathin CP photon sources. In
this work, we demonstrated CP photon sources of TMDCs with device
thicknesses approximately 50 nm. CP photoluminescence from the atomic
layers of tungsten diselenide (WSe<sub>2</sub>) was precisely controlled
with chiral metamolecules (MMs), and the optical chirality of WSe<sub>2</sub> was enhanced more than 4 times by integrating with the MMs.
Both the enhanced and reversed circular dichroisms had been achieved.
Through integrations of the novel gain material and plasmonic structure
which are both low-dimensional, a compact device capable of efficiently
manipulating emissions of CP photon was realized. These ultrathin
devices are suitable for important applications such as the optical
information technology and chip-scale biosensing
