Abstract

Multilayer of PbTe quantum dots embedded in SiO2 were fabricated by alternatively use of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition and Laser Ablation techniques. The optimal growing parameters for both the SiO2 films and the PbTe quantum dots were obtained. The refractive index and optical absorption of the sample were studied. Multilayer X-ray diffraction patterns were used to estimate the nanoparticles diameter. Morphological properties of the nanostructured material were studied using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Both absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns reveled the nanoparticles are 6-8 nm in diameter, consequently appropriate for developing optical devices in the infra red region. Finally the multilayer was grown inside a Fabry Perot cavity. The transmittance of the one-dimensional photonic crystal was measured.
