Oligofluorene with multiple spiro-connections: its and their use in blue and white OLEDs
2019
Bond rotation within molecules is regarded as one of the nonradiative decay pathways and is detrimental to high photoluminescence quantum yields. In this work, a bulky and rigid blue emitter (Spiro-F) with five spiro-carbon linkages is synthesized. Spiro-F can serve not only as an active component of blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), but also as a host and blue emitter of white OLEDs. The WOLED offers a low turn-on voltage of 3.5 V and a high current efficiency of 3.6 cd A−1, together with CIE coordinates of (0.29, 0.33). This work proves the potential of super-rigid oligofluorene emitters for OLEDs.
Extended liquid-crystalline oligofluorenes with photo- and electroluminescence
2010
In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of low-molecular weight light-emitting molecules based on short oligofluorene cores, from one to three 9,9-dioctylfluorene units, elongated at the 2- and 7-positions by means of promesogenic units. The effect of this structural modification on the mesomorphic properties, as well as on the optical and electrochemical properties, is studied. The possibility of using these molecules as emitters in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and polarized photoluminescent layers has been explored.
Efficient electroluminescence from a perylenediimide fluorophore obtained from a simple solution processed OLED
2009
Simple solution processed organic light emitting diodes are used to screen the performance of two types of highly efficient, narrow band red emitting fluorescent perylenediimides (PDIs). PDIs substituted at the diimide positions seem to form aggregates in the thin film architecture as evidenced by the shifted electroluminescent spectrum. When substituted on the bay position and when used both as the emitting and the electron transporting specie, bright electroluminescence with a narrow width around 610 nm reaching 500 cd m−2 at moderate voltages was observed, demonstrating the usefulness of these fluorophores for OLED applications.
Photoluminescent hybrid nanomaterials from modified halloysite nanotubes
2018
The synthesis of photoluminescent nanomaterials based on halloysite nanotubes is described. The obtained hybrid was characterized by means of TGA, FT-IR, DLS and XPS measurements; in addition its morphology was imaged by TEM and HR-TEM. The HNT hybrid also exhibited photoluminescent properties, both in solution and in the solid state, and white-light emission (0.24, 0.36; CIE coordinates) was observed. This work could be pioneering as a new strategy for manufacturing both LEDs and fluorescent tags based on HNT nanomaterials. © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Intra-center and recombination luminescence of bismuth defects in fused and unfused amorphous silica fabricated by SPCVD
2013
Abstract Photoluminescence (PL) of bismuth doped silicon dioxide excited by UV excimer lasers (ArF — 193 nm, KrF — 248 nm) and a green light laser diode (532 nm) is studied in a wide spectral band at temperatures ranging from 12 to 750 K. Two types of samples are investigated: unfused, 100 μm in thickness amorphous layer immediately deposited on the inner surface of silica substrate tube, and the same material after profusion resulted from tube collapsing to a rod by external heating. PL bands centered at 620–650 nm, 820 nm and 1400 nm wavelengths are observed in both fused and unfused samples. Under excitation by the green laser diode decay time constants for 650 nm (orange) and 1400 nm (N…
Light-emitting diodes based on phenylenevinylene oligomers with defined chain lengths
1997
Abstract We present characteristic electroluminescence data on single-layer devices based on three different oligo phenylenevinylene compounds with defined chain lengths. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were prepared by subsequent vacuum evaporation of the oligomer film and the A1 top electrode onto an indium—tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The LEDs show light emission in the spectral range of yellow to orange depending on the conjugation length of the compound used. We report photoluminescence and optical absorption data of the thin sublimed films, together with the wavelength dependence of the electroluminescence and with the current—voltage characteristics of the LED devices. The redox behavior …
Responsivity measurements of N-on-P and P-on-N silicon photomultipliers in the continuous wave regime
2013
We report the electrical and optical comparison, in continuous wave regime, of two novel classes of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) fabricated in planar technology on silicon P-type and N-type substrate respectively. Responsivity measurements have been performed with an incident optical power from tenths of picowatts to hundreds of nanowatts and on a broad spectrum, ranging from ultraviolet to near infrared (340-820 nm). For both classes of investigated SiPMs, responsivity shows flat response versus the optical incident power, when a preset overvoltage and wavelength is applied . More in detail, this linear behavior extends up to about 10 nW for lower overvoltages, while a shrink is observ…
Autonomous frequency stabilization of two extended cavity diode lasers at the potassium wavelength on a sounding rocket
2016
We have developed, assembled, and flight-proven a stable, compact, and autonomous extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) system designed for atomic physics experiments in space. To that end, two micro-integrated ECDLs at 766.7 nm were frequency stabilized during a sounding rocket flight by means of frequency modulation spectroscopy (FMS) of 39^K and offset locking techniques based on the beat note of the two ECDLs. The frequency stabilization as well as additional hard- and software to test hot redundancy mechanisms were implemented as part of a state-machine, which controlled the experiment completely autonomously throughout the entire flight mission.
APDs as single-photon detectors for visible and near-infrared wavelengths down to Hz rates
2012
For the SPECTRAP experiment at GSI, Germany, detectors with Single-Photon counting capability in the visible and near-infrared regime are required. For the wavelength region up to 1100 nm we investigate the performance of 2x2 mm^2 avalanche photo diodes (APDs) of type S0223 manufactured by Radiation Monitoring Devices. To minimize thermal noise, the APDs are cooled to approximately -170 deg. C using liquid nitrogen. By operating the diodes close to the breakdown voltage it is possible to achieve relative gains in excess of 2x10^4. Custom-made low noise preamplifiers are used to read out the devices. The measurements presented in this paper have been obtained at a relative gain of 2.2x10^4. …
