Quantum Science, the infrared quantum dot (QD) expertise firm, has boosted the soundness of its lead-free QD inks to virtually a 12 months, granting a long-life answer for analysis and improvement.
Latest breakthroughs from Quantum Science’s lead-free (LF) focus workforce have remodeled the soundness of its INFIQ® LF-QD inks each at wavelengths of 1,100 nm and 1,400 nm.
In depth testing has proven that INFIQ® LF-QD inks can stay secure for as much as a 12 months, each by way of their optical traits and gadget efficiency. No shifts in optical absorption peaks, peak properties, or gadget effectivity have been noticed throughout this era.
This overcomes challenges that the majority LF-QD inks expertise in sustaining stability over lengthy intervals because of the discount in ligand dimension in contrast with QD supplies, supporting analysis and improvement by extending the shelf lifetime of QD options.
The INFIQ® LF-QD inks have additionally been confirmed to work on silicon wafers, facilitating high-scale short-wave infrared (SWIR) picture sensor manufacturing as much less ink is required to coat bigger wafers.
LF-QD inks are instrumental to bringing SWIR functionality into markets the place conventional heavy-metal based mostly QDs are restricted, equivalent to shopper electronics and medical gadgets.
Dr Hao Pang, CEO and Founding father of Quantum Science, mentioned: “At Quantum Science, we’re pushing the boundaries of SWIR expertise and this newest achievement by our world-leading workforce in LF-QD formulation is a testomony to our imaginative and prescient of creating SWIR imaging and sensing accessible to all. Boosting the soundness of LF-QD inks at 1,400 nm and 1,100 m to virtually a 12 months is a landmark second for the trade, demonstrating the potential of this expertise and our drive to maintain constructing on efficiency.
“New purposes for LF-QD inks are nonetheless rising as analysis and improvement professionals uncover use instances for them in shopper electronics, medical gadgets, and far more. The power to retailer LF-QD inks for longer intervals will help analysis into new purposes, bringing this world-changing expertise into merchandise we use daily.”
