چکیده

Length controlled (μm-mm-cm) self-assembly of hexagonal faceted microtubules has been achieved using a phase-transfer solution processing approach from . The self-assembled structures exhibit both polarized light emission and multi-mode waveguide properties over large length scales. The multi-mode waveguide characteristics are analyzed using a combination of experiment and finite-difference-time-domain calculations.

Semiconducting polymer waveguides for end-fired ultra-fast optical amplifiers.

A method to fabricate conjugated polymer waveguides with well defined edge facets is demonstrated. The utility of the approach is explored for application as end-fired ultrafast optical amplifiers based on poly(9,9'-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole). An internal gain of 19 dB was achieved on a 760 microm long waveguide at 565 nm wavelength. This fabrication procedure may be applied to a wide...

Solution-processable 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole containing compound based on the novel 1-dodecyl-6-dodecoxynaphthyridine-2-one unit for organic field-effect transistors

Small molecule organic semiconductors have well-defined structures and can be used in place of polymers which often show batch-to-batch variation. Many different electron-rich donor and electrondeficient acceptor units have been used to design materials with reduced HOMO-LUMO gaps and improved mobilities. Here we introduce a novel acceptor unit, 1-dodecyl-6-dodecoxynaphthyridine-2one. This acce...

General methods for designing single-mode planar photonic crystal waveguides in hexagonal lattice structures.

We systematically investigate and compare general methods of designing single mode photonic crystal waveguides in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice of air holes in a dielectric material. We apply the rather general methods to dielectric-core hexagonal lattice photonic crystals since they have not been widely explored before. We show that it is possible to obtain single mode guiding in a limit...
