Short description: Technical application of optics using organic materials
Molecular structure of the Rhodamine 6G dye which is often used to dope a polymer such as PMMA to create a solid-state organic gain medium.PMMA repeating unit.
Organic photonics is a subfield of photonics (the technical application of optics) in which light is manipulated via organic materials.
Fields within organic photonics include the liquid organic dye laser and organic solid-state dye lasers. Materials used in solid-state dye lasers include:
Organic-inorganic nanoparticle gain media are nanocomposites developed for solid-state dye lasers[3] and can also be used in biosensors,[5] bioanalytics,[5] and nonlinear organic photonics applications.[6]
An additional class of organic materials used in the generation of laser light include organic semiconductors.[7][8] Conjugated polymers are widely used as optically pumped organic semiconductors.[7][8]
