ABSTRACT
The effect of confinement on quantum dots (QDs) of CdSe, ZnS and GaAs on the wavelength has been studied using the Brus equation at various confinement radii. It is observed that the QDs of CdSe and GaAs possess the trait for possible extension of their wavelength to match the IBSC systems for communication in the optical C band.
