WÜRZBURG, Germany – A new organic LED (OLED) structure emits single photons and could improve security for data transmission. Such single-photon-emitting light sources are a basic requirement for new encryption technologies, said Jens Pflaum, a professor at the Institute of Physics of the University of Würzburg. Pflaum developed the device with physicists from the universities of Stuttgart and Ulm. Currently, malicious parties can “fish for” data during transmission without being detected because conventional light sources such as lasers emit large quantities of identical photons. ...Read full article
