CdSe colloidal quantum dot / poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-(1-cyano vinylene)phenylene] hybrid nanocomposite thin films were deposited using resonant infrared matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation. The distributions of CdSe colloidal quantum dots within the polymer matrices of as-grown films were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy, and the optical properties of these films were determined by photoluminescence spectroscopy. These measurements demonstrate that: i) depending upon the deposition parameters used, the CdSe colloidal quantum dot distribution can be tuned between two morphology extremes, i.e. clustering or homogenous dispersion; and ii) the constituent materials of the nanocomposite are not damaged in any way that affects structural or optical properties by the deposition process. The demonstrated ability to control nanoparticle distribution within organic films has not been achieved by other deposition techniques and could enhance the performance of optoelectronic devices based on these materials. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.
