Perovskite versus ZnCuInS/ZnS Luminescent Nanoparticles in Wavelength-Shifting Layers for Sensor Applications
In this work, the application of quantum dots is evaluated in order to sensitize the commercially popular Si detectors in the UV range. The wavelength-shifting properties of two types of all-inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots as well as ZnCuInS/ZnS quantum dots are determined in order to asses...

| description | In this work, the application of quantum dots is evaluated in order to sensitize the commercially popular Si detectors in the UV range. The wavelength-shifting properties of two types of all-inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots as well as ZnCuInS/ZnS quantum dots are determined in order to assess their potential in the effective enhancement of the sensors’ detection range. In a further part of the study, the wavelength-shifting layers are formed by embedding the quantum dots in two kinds of polymers: PMMA or Cyclic Olefin Polymer. The performance of the layers is evaluated by transmission and PLE measurement. Incorporating the nanoparticles seemingly increases the transmittance in the UV range by several percent. The observed phenomenon is proportional to the quantum dots to polymer concentration, which indicates the successful conversion action of the luminescent agents. |
