Unidirectional Emission of a Quantum Dot Coupled to a Nanoantenna
Abstract
Directed Emission: The atomlike features of quantum dots—the discrete energy levels and subsequent emission of light at discrete wavelengths—make them key building blocks in optoelectronic circuits and optical communication. However, the emitted light tends to be omnidirectional, which limits applications that require accurate transmission between sender and receiver. Curto et al. (p. 930 ; see the Perspective by Giessen and Lippitz ) have designed an optical antenna, a shrunk-down version of the Yagi-Uda design used in microwave and radio communication, and show that coupling the quantum dot to the antenna provides control over the direction of the emitted light.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
