Tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq3), which is the most widely used material in organic electroluminescent devices, has been synthesized. Alq3 thin films have been deposited on glass and silicon substrates. The influence of light exposure on the optical properties of Alq3 thin films has been studied. It is confirmed that the photoluminescence (PL) of Alq3 thin film originates from its two geometrical isomers, namely, facial and meridional, which result from PL decay analysis (biexponential fit). It is also confirmed that the PL from both the isomers decreases for increasing light exposure time leading to the creation of luminescent quencher in Alq3 thin film.
