Linear and nonlinear optical characteristics of all-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 quantum dots modified by hydrophobic zeolites

All-inorganic perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have been considered as outstanding candidates for high-performance optoelectronic device applications. However, the chemical and optical stabilities restrict their device applications. In this paper, hydrophobic zeolites were proposed to modify CsPbBr3 QDs to prevent water influence while achieving good dispersion. These hybrid luminescent materials possess high internal quantum efficiency (IQE, ∼81%@3.52 W cm−2) and low dissociation levels that give rise to improved optical stability in terms of temperature and time. More interesting, it is found that this nanocomposite is able to maintain its optical limiting performance under intensive laser illumination. This paper discusses the linear and nonlinear optical characteristics of CsPbBr3 QDs, which would be of great importance for both fundamental physics investigation and practical multiphoton applications.
