Amplified spontaneous emission from metal-backed poly[2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] film

We investigate the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from an Ag-backed poly[2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethylhexyloxy)1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) film with different film thicknesses.The ASE characteristics of Ag-backed MEHPPV films with different thicknesses show that increasing the film thickness can reduce the influence of the Ag cladding.The threshold,the gain,and the loss of the device with a thickness of 170 nm are comparable to those of a metal-free device.The lasing threshold of this device is about 7.5 times that of a metal-free device.Our findings demonstrate that Ag-backed MEH-PPV film with an appropriate thickness can still be a good polymer gain material for the fabrication of solid-state lasers.     

Effect of different metal-backed waveguides on amplified spontaneous emission

We investigate the effect of a metallic electrode on the ability for poly[2-methoxy-5-(2’-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4phenylene vinylene](MEH-PPV) film to undergo amplified spontaneous emission(ASE).The threshold of the device with Ag cladding is about 10 times greater than that of a metal-free device,but metal such as Al completely shuts off ASE.The ASE recurs when a thin spacer layer,such as a few nanometers of SiO 2,is introduced between the MEH-PPV film and the Al cladding.Compared with the Cu or Al electrode,the Ag cladding is most suited to serve as an electrode with its low optical loss due to its high work-function and reflectivity.     

White organic light-emitting diodes based on combined electromer and monomer emission in doubly-doped polymers

We report on white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) based on polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) doped with 1,1-bis((di-4-tolylamino)phenyl)cyclohexane (TAPC) and perylene, and investigate the luminescence mechanism of the devices. The chromaticity of light emission can be tuned by adjusting the concentration of the dopants. White light with the Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.33, 0.34) is achieved by mixing the yellow electromer emission of TAPC and the blue monomer emission of perylene from the device ITO/PVK: TAPC: perylene (100:9:1 in wt.) (100 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum (Alq₃) (10 nm)/Al. The device exhibits a maximal luminance of 3727 cd/m² and a current efficiency of 2 cd/A.     

Sodium chloride methanol solution spin-coating process for bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells

The sodium chloride methanol solution process is conducted on the conventional poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)/[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(61)BM) polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells. The device exhibits a power conversion efficiency of up to 3.36%, 18% higher than that of the device without the solution process. The measurements of the active layer by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), atomic force microscopy(AFM), and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS) indicate a slight phase separation in the vertical direction and a sodium chloride distributed island-like interface between the active layer and the cathode. The capacitance–voltage(C–V) and impedance spectroscopy measurements prove that the sodium chloride methanol process can reduce the electron injection barrier and improve the interfacial contact of polymer solar cells. Therefore, this one-step solution process not only optimizes the phase separation in the active layers but also forms a cathode buffer layer, which can enhance the generation, transport, and collection of photogenerated charge carriers in the device simultaneously. This work indicates that the inexpensive and non-toxic sodium chloride methanol solution process is an efficient one-step method for the low cost manufacturing of polymer solar cells.

在有机发光器件中,掺杂染料分子是改变发光颜色,提高发光性能的有利手段.在掺杂体系中,主体材料向掺杂剂的能量传递是主要的激发态弛豫过程.在LEC器件中,利用掺杂手段改变发光颜色的方法报道很少.研究了以发射绿光(峰值550 nm)的共聚物Poly[(BEHP-PPV)-co-(MEH-PPV)]中掺杂DCJTB作为功能层的LEC器件的发光特性.器件的结构为ITO/Poly[(BEHP-PPV)-co-(MEH-PPV)]∶DCJTB+PEO+LiCF3SO3/Al.共聚物的光致发光光谱几乎覆盖了整个DCJTB吸收光谱的范围,满足能量传递的要求.通过光致发光与电致发光光谱的研究,发现掺杂后的薄膜不论是光致发光还是电致发光,都以DCJTB的发射为主,说明二者之间的确存在能量传递.

水热法合成了掺杂Er3+和Yb3+的 KZnF3材料, 研究了Er3+和Yb3+在这种基质材料中的吸收和在980 nm红外光激发下的上转换发光, 对比了不同Yb3+浓度(0%～4%)下的上转换发光特性.实验发现, 在同种材料中, Er3+的红光发光强度要明显强于绿光, 而且掺Yb3+后红光和绿光的光强比不掺Yb3+时都有了很明显地增强.当Yb3+浓度为2%时上转换发光光强达到最强, 大于2%后发光开始减弱.通过分析输出光强与泵浦光强的双对数曲线, 发现Er3+的红光和绿光的发射均属于双光子过程, 最后分析了红光和绿光上转换发光的具体过程和转换通道.
