Michael A. Greenwood

By using a different type of doping agent, researchers have significantly enhanced the efficiency of organic LEDs (OLEDs) that emit in the NIR region. Diodes with such capabilities have applications for night-vision displays and sensors. An 11-member research team led by Mark E. Thompson, a professor in the department of chemistry at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, found that, when a phosphorescent platinum porphyrin complex was used as a doping agent, the performance of the OLED improved noticeably. Previously, the emission layers of OLEDS were doped with...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
