Organic photonics

Organic photonics includes the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and detection/sensing of light, using organic optical materials.

Molecular structure of the Rhodamine 6G dye which is often used to dope a polymer such as PMMA to create a solid-state organic gain medium.
PMMA repeating unit.

Fields within organic photonics include the liquid organic dye laser and solid-state organic dye lasers. Materials used in solid-state dye lasers include:

Organic-inorganic nanoparticle gain media are nanocomposites developed for solid-state dye lasers[3] and can also be utilized in biosensors,[5] bio analytics,[5] and nonlinear organic photonics applications.[6]

An additional class of organic materials used in the generation of laser light include organic semiconductors.[7][8] Conjugated polymers are widely used as optically-pumped organic semiconductors.[7][8]
