Resumo

In this work we describe a method to obtain photoluminescente excitation spectra, through one and two photon absorption, of CdTe quantum dots, based on a confocal microscope platform. This system becomes an analytical multipurpose characterization platform with spatial, and spectral resolution with temperature control. The capabilities of such platform were demonstrated by photoluminescence and second harmonic generation spectra acquisition as a function of temperature from 10 K to room temperature. The differences for one and two photons transition selection rules between the quantum dot confined levels provide access to intra and inter band, forbidden in one photon transitions, information that could be used to validate confinement models. The results agree well with the transition selection rules calculated with a parabolic model. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America (AU)
