Leader: Kenneth Singer
The novel optical properties associated with one-dimensional photonic bandgap structures will be exploited and combined with other property enhancement strategies such as synthesis of highly nonlinear optical responsive chromophores and inclusion of metallic and semiconducting nanoparticles, nanorods, and carbon nanotubes to impart superior optical responses for a new generation of photonic devices. The enhancement of exciton production, annihilation and carrier transport in nanolayered polymer structures will be investigated with the aim of enhancing the efficiency of photovoltaic devices.
