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:
