Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals with peculiar optoelectronic properties. Their wide application in light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and the medical and defense fields makes them a potential candidate in the area of photonics and biophotonics. In this feature issue of Optical Materials Express, together with Optics Express we focus on different aspects of semiconducting nanocrystals research, especially on the advances in the synthesis, physical properties, and application of QDs.
量子点（QDs）是具有独特光电特性的半导体纳米晶体。它们在发光二极管、太阳能电池以及医学和国防领域的广泛应用使其成为光子学和生物光子学领域的潜在候选者。在本期《光学材料快报》特刊中，我们与《光学快报》一起关注半导体纳米晶体研究的不同方面，特别是量子点在合成、物理性质和应用方面的进展。
