Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…Organic semiconductors still lag behind their inorganic counterparts in terms of mobility due to their lower structural order, in particular in thin films. Here, the highly ordered phase of triclinic rubrene – characterized by high vertical hole mobility – grown from a vacuum-deposited thin film is used by post-annealing and implemented into organic photodetectors. …”

Hollow-core photonic crystal fiber based multifunctional optical system for trapping, position sensing, and detection of fluorescent particles by Shinoj, Vengalathunadakal Kuttinarayanan, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham

“…We demonstrate a novel multifunctional optical system that is capable of trapping, imaging, position sensing, and fluorescence detection of micrometer-sized fluorescent test particles using hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). This multifunctional optical system for trapping, position sensing, and fluorescent detection is designed such that a near-IR laser light is used to create an optical trap across a liquid-filled HC-PCF, and a 473 nm laser is employed as a source for fluorescence excitation. …”

Comparison of specialty optical fiber and conventional fiber for evanescent sensing applications by Nur Dayana Nurbaythi Mohamed Ali.

“…This limited depth of penetration calls for the need for the test materials to be in direct contact with the sensing region that is created on the active sensing device – conventional optical fibers. However, due to the development of technology and the increasing demand for better sensitivity in sensors, the use of alternative fibers, i.e. photonic crystal fibers (PCF), emerge as it has displayed huge potential in being highly sensitive and having the ability to sense analytes in solutions. …”
