基于二维光子晶体点缺陷可调谐光功率分配器

在二维矩形阵列结构硅光子晶体中去除中间一排硅柱形成线波导,在线波导右侧引入点缺陷。利用时域有限差分法(FDTD)模拟仿真以及数值分析研究线波导中光耦合特性,计算出两个通道的分光比,发现改变光子晶体的温度可以明显改变这两个通道的光功率比。基于此结构,提出了一种新的光功率分配器,可以获得大范围的光功率比值,从1∶1～90∶1都可以通过改变光子晶体的温度来实现,并且当温度从0℃～200℃就可以实现这一功能,最后设计了一款三通道可调谐光功率分配器,通过调节两个点缺陷区域内温度来实现光功率的分配。

Thickness effects on the optical properties of layer-by-layer poly(p-phenylene vinylene) thin films and their use in energy-modulated structures

Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) thin films were produced by layer-by-layer (LbL) method, using soluble PPV-precursor and dodecylbenzenesulfonate salt (DBS). The amount of deposited layers strongly influences the optical properties of the thermally converted PPV film. The absorbance and luminescence spectra of ultra-thin films (consisting of only two or three PPV layers) are shifted to smaller wavelengths with respect to spectra of thicker films. This is related to the smaller average conjugation length of polymer chains, resulting in a higher HOMO-LUMO gap energy of the material. However, if a thick film is produced by repeating the deposition process and thermal conversion of ultra-thin layers, the optical spectra are still displaced to higher energies in comparison with those of thicker films produced by the conventional continuous deposition of layers. This result enabled the production of multilayered polymeric films with modulated energy profile, taking the number of deposited layers as the only variable in the manufacturing process of the structure. The aim is to guide the excitation to specific regions of the material through the Förster-type energy transfer processes. Such systems can be used at interfaces electrode/polymer and/or electrode/polymeric active layers in order to improve the performance of organic optoelectronic devices.     

Self-assembled gelators for organic electronics

Nature excels at engineering materials by using the principles of chemical synthesis and molecular self-assembly with the help of noncovalent forces. Learning from these phenomena, scientists have been able to create a variety of self-assembled artificial materials of different size, shapes, and properties for wide ranging applications. An area of great interest in this regard is solvent-assisted gel formation with functional organic molecules, thus leading to one-dimensional fibers. Such fibers have improved electronic properties and are potential soft materials for organic electronic devices, particularly in bulk heterojunction solar cells. Described herein is how molecular self-assembly, which was originally proposed as a simple laboratory curiosity, has helped the evolution of a variety of soft functional materials useful for advanced electronic devices such as organic field-effect transistors and organic solar cells. Highlights on some of the recent developments are discussed.
