Abstract
Despite three decades of research, colloidal quantum dot (QD) lasers are still at the stage of exploratory devices rather than a practical technology. A primary complication is nonradiative Auger recombination of gain-active multicarrier states. To overcome this challenge, we introduce type-(I+II) QDs that feature a trion-like optical-gain state with strongly suppressed Auger recombination. Using a single QD sample, we achieve stable lasing tunable 634 nm (red) to 590 nm (orange-yellow). These results point towards the feasibility of technologically viable QD lasers that combine wide dye-laser-like spectral tunability with high operational stability and unparallel diversity of optical characteristics of zero-dimensional semiconductors.
