Colloidal nanocrystals attract considerable attention in the field of light emitting devices thanks to their high fluorescence quantum yield, low amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold, and spectral tunability via electronic structure engineering and surface functionalization. Combining polymer microcavities with colloidal nanocrystals...

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are defined as composites made of media bearing different dielectric constant or refractive index ordered in a mono, bi or tridimensional periodic structure, and whose lattice constant is comparable to the wavelength of visible or near-infrared light. PhCs are nowadays exploited in functional architecture, enhancement...
