We discuss a promising solid-state system that emits single photons at room temperature in the blue-green range, making it an attractive candidate for quantum communications in free space and underwater. The active element is a core-shell ZnSe tapered nanowire embedding a single CdSe quantum dot grown by molecular beam epitaxy. A patterned substrate enables a comprehensive study of a single nanowire using various methods. Our source shows potential for achieving a total brightness of 0.17 photon per pulse and anti-bunching with g(0) < 0.3 within a restricted spectral window. Additionally, we analyze the impact of charged excitons on the g(0) value in different spectral ranges.

Developing single-particle nanocomposite with aqueous-phase orthogonal multicolor phosphorescence or multimodal luminescence holds great significance for optical coding, anti-counterfeiting encryption, bioimaging, and biosensing. However, it faces challenges such as a limited range of emission wavelengths and difficulties in controlling the synthesis process. In this work, a conjugate structure manipulation integrated luminophor confinement strategy is proposed to prepare carbon dots@upconversion nanoparticles (CDs@UCNPs) featuring aqueous-phase orthogonal multicolor room-temperature phosphorescence-upconversion luminescence (RTP-UCL) through wet-chemical synthetic methods.

High-performance, environmentally friendly indium phosphide (InP)-based quantum dots (QDs) are urgently needed to meet the demands of rapidly evolving display and lighting technologies. By adopting the highly efficient and cost-effective one-pot method and utilizing aluminum isopropoxide (AIP) as the Al source, a series of Al-doped InP/(Al)ZnS QDs with emission maxima ranging from 480 to 627 nm were synthesized. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red QDs, with emission peaks at 480, 509, 560, 600, and 627 nm, reached 34%, 62%, 86%, 96%, and 85%, respectively.

Metasurface holograms offer various advantages, including wide viewing angle, small volume, and high resolution. However, full-color animation of high-resolution images has been a challenging issue. In this study, a full-color dielectric metasurface holographic movie with a resolution of 2322 × 2322 was achieved by spatiotemporally multiplexing 30 frames with blue, green, and red color channels at the wavelengths of 445 nm, 532 nm, and 633 nm at the maximum reconstruction speed of 55.

April 2025

College of Chemistry, Jilin Province Research Center for Engineering and Technology of Spectral Analytical Instruments, Jilin University, Qianjin Street 2699, Changchun, 130012, China.

Article Synopsis
  • A new fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (DBP-FMIPs) was developed for the specific detection of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in food samples, using a combination of short amylose, a crosslinking agent, and fluorescent signals.
  • *DBP-FMIPs showed high stability and a rapid response time (under 3 minutes), with a linear fluorescence intensity ratio response to DBP concentrations ranging from 0.020 to 20 mg/L, along with a low detection limit of 4.5 μg/L.
  • *The probe successfully detected DBP in both liquor and drinking water, proving effective with recoveries of 88-107% and a low relative standard deviation, highlighting its

Department of Chemistry, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, 690525, Kollam, Kerala, India.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on synthesizing a series of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2-amine derivatives that exhibit adjustable optical properties depending on the aryl groups attached to them, both in solid and solution states.
  • - The synthesized compounds showed significant variability in their optical characteristics, including absorption and emission rates, with quantum yields ranging from 8.11% to 71.00% in DMF and specific fluorescence lifetimes.
  • - The results suggest that these derivatives have potential applications in optoelectronics due to their unique dual-state emission properties and the ability to modify energy levels through different substituents.
