The progression of carrier confinement from quantum wells to quantum dots has received
considerable interests because of the potential to improve the semiconductor laser …

Semiconductor nanocrystals are rapidly spreading into the display and lighting markets.
Compared with liquid crystal and organic LED displays, nanocrystalline quantum dots (QDs) …

This review addresses ongoing discussions involving nanolaser experiments, particularly
those related to thresholdless lasing or few-emitter devices. A quantum-optical (quantum …

The strong coupling between molecules and photons in resonant cavities offers a new
toolbox to manipulate photochemical reactions. Although the quenching of photochemical …

We investigate radiative coupling between emitters in quantum-dot (QD) nanolasers. For
typical systems with tens to hundreds of active emitters, a strong impact of sub-and …

The super-thermal photon bunching in quantum-dot (QD) micropillar lasers is investigated
both experimentally and theoretically via simulations driven by dynamic considerations …

We revisit and extend the standard bosonic interpretation of interlayer excitons (ILX) in the
moiré potential of twisted heterostructures of transition-metal dichalcogenides. In our …

How small can a laser be made? What characteristic properties must a device possess to
still be called a laser? How can one prove laser action in the limiting cases of single-emitter …

This thesis sheds light on the unique dynamics of optoelectronic devices based on
semiconductor quantum-dots. The complex scattering processes involved in filling the …

The regime of strong light-matter coupling is typically associated with weak excitation. With
current realizations of cavity-QED systems, strong coupling may persevere even at elevated …
