Organic photonics

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:

* laser dye-doped PMMA[1]
* laser dye-doped ormosil[2]
* laser dye-doped polymer-nanoparticle matrices[3]
* laser dye-doped bio-based gain media[4]

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]
