Optical gain measurements with femtosecond excitation were performed in CdSe colloidal quantum dots (QDs) dissolved in toluene using the variable stripe length method. Instead of ZnS-shell overcoating, we found that the spectral narrowing and intensity enhancement of the fluorescence can be achieved alternatively by excluding octadecene (ODE) at the preparation of QDs. The maximum gain (∼1.5mm−1) in the ODE-excluded CdSe QDs is comparable to that of CdSe/ZnS core–shell structures. Despite the uniform size distribution (σ=0.25nm), a broad gain spectrum appears in both cases due to the recombination of many excited levels between biexciton and exciton states. The remaining surface states in the ODE-excluded CdSe QDs also contribute to gain (1.0mm−1), which is involved with a three-level process.
