Re: "Light is light"

If you don't agree that a quantum dot's (or quantum well) emitted light can have strange or very unusual effects you are behind the times.

It is certainly incorrect to say that "light is light." For example, coherent light is quite different (in its characteristics and effects) from ordinary (non-coherent) light. The difference in light characteristics between a "well" and "dot" is not as great; however, among other things, the "dot" (due to 3-D confinement) forces the emitted photons to behave as waves only - i.e., not particles - in all 3 dimensions.

All depends on what you are attempting to do (application). To maximize fluorescence intensity, quantum yield and light-matter interaction effects, I would choose quantum dot (or quantum dot array) over quantum well.

Answer to your Q regarding whether JSMR has a newer explanation: I don't know.
