Connecting the dots for cooperative emission

Subjects Other photonicsQuantum dots Both superfluorescence and amplified spontaneous emission are observed in giant perovskite nanocrystals with the transition between these two cooperative emission regimes worked out by tuning temperature, excitation fluence and emitter density.
