12. Briefly, the preparation method comprises the following processes: 5 mg of glass spheres (Polyscience Inc.) are treated for 10 min in 3% solution of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) in toluene at 80°C under vigorous stirring followed by a 4-fold washing in fresh toluene. This procedure results in a near monolayer of MPTS on the surface of the glass spheres. Then the spheres with the MPTS-activated surface are mixed with a highly diluted colloidal solution of (CdSe)ZnS quantum dots in toluene. Under stirring, the (CdSe)-ZnS dots are bound to the surface of glass spheres via formation of S-Zn chemical bonds between surface Zn atoms and MPTS mercapto groups.

16. The blinking of quantum dots observed here has nothing in common with the analysis of the photon statistics to study nonclassical light sources. However, because the blinking effects are observed on time scales of seconds, it should not exclude performing experiments of cavity-QED on picosecond time scales, such as the search for Rabi oscillations in QD@PD structures.
