DESCRIPTION:Abstract : Semiconductor nanostructures with low dimensionality
  like quantum dots are one the best attractive solutions for achieving hig
 h performance photonic devices. When one or more spatial dimensions of the
  nanocrystal approach the de Broglie wavelength\, nanoscale size effects c
 reate a spatial quantization of carriers along with various other phenomen
 a based on quantum mechanics. Thanks to their compactness\, great thermal 
 stability and large reflection immunity\, semiconductor quantum dot lasers
  are very promising candidates for low energy consumption and isolation fr
 ee photonic integrated circuits. When directly grown on silicon\, they eve
 n show a four-wave mixing efficiency much superior compared to the convent
 ional quantum well devices. This remarkable result paves the way for achie
 ving high-efficiency frequency comb generation from a photonic chip. Quant
 um dot lasers also exhibit a strong potential for applications in optical 
 routing and optical atomic clock.\nLast but not least\, a quantum dot sing
 le photon source is a building block in secure communications\, and theref
 ore can be applied to quantum information processing for applications such
  as quantum computers. This lecture will review the recent findings and pr
 ospects on nanostructure based light emitters made with quantum-dot techno
 logy. Many applications ranging from silicon-based integrated solutions to
 \nquantum information systems will be presented. In addition\, the lecture
  will highlight the importance of nanotechnologies on industry and society
  especially for shaping the future information and communication society.\

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Abstract :</strong> Semiconductor 
 nanostructures with low dimensionality like quantum dots are one the best 
 attractive solutions for achieving high performance photonic devices. When
  one or more spatial dimensions of the nanocrystal approach the de Broglie
  wavelength\, nanoscale size effects create a spatial quantization of carr
 iers along with various other phenomena based on quantum mechanics. Thanks
  to their compactness\, great thermal stability and large reflection immun
 ity\, semiconductor quantum dot lasers are very promising candidates for l
 ow energy consumption and isolation free photonic integrated circuits. Whe
 n directly grown on silicon\, they even show a four-wave mixing efficiency
  much superior compared to the conventional quantum well devices. This rem
 arkable result paves the way for achieving high-efficiency frequency comb 
 generation from a photonic chip. Quantum dot lasers also exhibit a strong 
 potential for applications in optical routing and optical atomic clock.<br
  />Last but not least\, a quantum dot single photon source is a building b
 lock in secure communications\, and therefore can be applied to quantum in
 formation processing for applications such as quantum computers. This lect
 ure will review the recent findings and prospects on nanostructure based l
