Synopsis

 

Many molecular and polymeric semiconductor materials are able to absorb or emit light with high-efficiency, providing the foundation for applications in technologies ranging from optical communication devices to energy harvesting and storage. By combining organic and inorganic materials together, so-called hybrid systems can also be created that possess properties not achievable in either material system alone. For example, organometal halide perovskites, nanocrystals and their polymer nanocomposites, graphene like materials, 2D semiconductors, and plasmonic nanostructuresare now of significant interest as materials for photovoltaics, LEDs and lasers. Bio-photonics also represents an emerging opportunity to develop new types of functional, hybrid system. This topical meeting aims to bring together the community of physicists, chemists, material scientists and engineers having an interest in the application in photonics, light-harvesting, light emission, and biophotonics in order to provide an overview of the state of the art and a vision for future technologies. Our session considers fundamental theory, basic spectroscopy and device studies. We aim to cover a broad range of topics, including organic lasers and laser devices, perovskite photovoltaics and lasers, organic light emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices, biologically inspired photonics and devices, nano-photonic materials and systems, microcavities and polariton-based optics, photonic sensors, photonic-crystals and self-assembled photoactive macromolecular structures, and spectroscopy of organic and hybrid semiconductors.
