Opt Express. 2023 Oct 9;31(21):34667-34676. doi: 10.1364/OE.498121.

Abstract

A triple-wavelength patterned quantum dot film was fabricated for the light source of digital holography to improve both the axial measurement range and noise reduction. The patterned quantum dot film was fabricated after optimizing the photolithography process condition based on the UV-curable quantum dot solution, which was capable of multiple patterning processes. In addition, an optimized pattern structure was developed by adding TiO2 nanoparticles to both the quantum dot and bank layers to increase the scattering effect for the improved photoluminescence intensity. Finally, the newly developed light source with the balanced spectral distribution was applied to the digital holography, rendering it applicable as an improved light source.
