Measuring the refractive state of an eye based on the intensity of the retinal reflex
2017
AbstractWhen examining the fundus of the eye with an ophthalmoscope, the intensity of the retinal reflex depends on the refractive state of the eye. In this study, application of this phenomenon for measuring the refractive state of the eye is demonstrated. First, a calibration curve relating the intensity of the retinal reflex and the refractive state was obtained using a model eye. Next, the intensity of the retinal reflex was measured while subjects were viewing a checker-board pattern, the distance of which was varied within the range from 0.17 to 1 m. Further, the relation between the refractive state and the optical power of the stimulus could be determined based on the measured light…
Eu3+ ternary and tetrakis complexes with carbazole and methyl group substituted dibenzoylmethane derivatives: Induction of aggregation enhanced emiss…
2019
Abstract Two dibenzoylmethane (DBM) derivatives with methyl (Me-DBM) or carbazole (CBZ-DBM) substituents at the para-position of the phenyl ring and their four novel ternary and tetrakis Eu3+ complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (PHEN) as a secondary ligand or tetraethylamonium ion (N+(Et)4) as the counter-cation were synthesized and characterized. The investigation of the optical properties of the complexes revealed that Me-DBM based compounds exhibit aggregation enhanced emission (AEE), while in the case of CBZ-DBM this effect is not observed. At the same time, the introduction of a carbazole substituent reduces the emission quantum yield of the complexes. The decrease in luminescence effic…
Hands-on optics and photonics outreach in Riga
2014
A long-term exposition focused on optics and photonics was created in Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy at University of Latvia in 2010. Considering unpopularity of science in Latvia and lack of broadly accessible hands-on outreach activities for school children, as well as rapid development of advanced photonic technologies, this exposition was meant to involve more students to the natural sciences and modern technologies. Exposition covers 10 topics of optics – colors, diffraction, interference, polarization, reflection, liquid crystals, gas discharge, lasers, fluorescence, infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Students' visits are organized as an exciting adventure, which differ…
Emission Enhancement by Intramolecular Stacking between Heteroleptic Iridium(III) Complex and Flexibly Bridged Aromatic Pendant Group
2019
Phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes suffer from a strong aggregation quenching, limiting their use in solution-processed or crystalline organic light-emitting diodes. Here we report how an intramolecular stacking between a flexibly bridged bulky aromatic pendant group and the core of nonionic heteroleptic complex can be exploited to minimize the negative effects of this drawback. The stacked conformation provides a rigid sterical shielding of the polar molecular surface, improving photoluminescence quantum yield of the complex both in solution and crystalline state.
Thiphenylmethane based structural fragments as building blocks towards solution-processable heteroleptic iridium(iii) complexes for OLED use
2019
A novel structural approach to solution-processable heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes is presented. On the basis of 2-arylbenzo[d]thiazole cyclometalating main ligands and picolinic acid (pic) and acetylacetone (acac) ancillary ligands six new yellow or orange emitting materials were obtained using attached 1,1,1-triphenylmethylpentane substituents as aggregation preventing and solubility enhancing functional fragments. The obtained compounds show high photoluminescence quantum yield values in the range of 0.64 to 0.90. OLEDs with a spin-coated emissive layer were successfully prepared, with the highest achieved external quantum efficiency of 7.9%, current efficiency of 12.4 cd A−1 and po…
