Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are potential materials for verifiable demonstrations of semiconductor-based laser cooling. The key feature that makes NCs appealing for laser cooling is their near unity emission quantum yields (QYs). An unresolved issue regarding NC QYs, however, centers on the existence of an excitation energy dependent (EED) QY. Here, we study EED QYs on three NC systems, aimed at demonstrating NC-based laser cooling (CsPbBr3, CsPbI3, and CdSe/CdS core/shell NCs). We evaluate the impact of EED QYs using two approaches. The first involves direct QY measurements using an integrating sphere. The second entails photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy where changes to NC QYs with excitation energy can be assessed qualitatively.
