Abstract

Active optical waveguides based on functional small organic molecules in micro/nano regime have attracted great interest for their potential applications in high speed miniaturized photonic integrations. Here, we report on the active waveguiding properties of millimeter sized single crystals of a newly synthesized thiophene-based oligomer. These large crystals exhibit low optical loss compared to other organic nanostructures, and optical losses depend on the emission energy. Moreover, we find that the coupling of photoluminescence to waveguide modes is very efficient, typically greater than 40%. These features indicate that such perfect single crystals with a low density of defects and extremely smooth surfaces exhibit low propagation loss, which makes them good candidates for the design and the fabrication of novel organic optical fibers and lasers.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
