**Meeting Notice**
The Chapter is pleased to announce our next webinar in June.
********************************
Tuesday June 10th 7pm-8pm BST
As colloidal quantum dots become an established image sensor technology Quantum Science Ltd. is turning its attention to the next generation. Current commercial applications are based on Pb containing quantum dots with sensitivity at wavelengths up to ~2000 nm. Extending current quantum dot material sets beyond 2000 nm (eSWIR) and progressing Pb-free material systems are of strategic importance to the imaging market. The progress in quantum dot eSWIR technology will be presented to demonstrate the superior wavelength tunability of our quantum dots. Pb-free quantum dot materials have technologically advanced into SWIR wavelengths and performance is improving rapidly. This talk will also present the QD synthesis, ink formulation and photodiode work carried out at quantum science and demonstrate that these materials will offer advantages to stability and processing that goes beyond the exclusion of the heavy metal in these products.
