Abstrakt: In this work, we explore the potential of CdSe based quantum dots (QDs) as materials for non-linear optical applications. The characterization of core and core-shell type QDs in the non-linear optical regime is conducted bath in solution and within hybrid sol-gel matrices. Such hybrid QD/sol-gel matrices are round to retain the optical properties of the QDs while allowing for improved QD processability and stability. The exploitation of these properties is demonstrated in two QD/sol-gel based optical device prototypes: (i) the optical limiter and (ii) the up-converted laser. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
