Electrically Pumped Organic Laser – IDOL

Electrically pumped organic lasers (EPOL) could be integrated easily with other printable, flexible and disposable optoelectronics for applications in spectroscopy, health care system, displays and sensors. The objective of IDOL is to develop these promising light sources, still a major challenge in organic electronics. The project consortium is composed of optical engineers and researchers, synthesis chemists, devices physicists and electrical engineers, all working on the same campus with complementary competences. Organic light emitting transistors will be used to achieve high current density and to minimize the light/electrode losses. Optical simulations and advanced characterizations will help to design the device step by step. New electron transport and light emitting molecules will be synthesized to overcome the technological barriers on the material side.
