Polarized Emission and Optical Waveguide in Crystalline Perylene Diimide Microwires

Abstract: We report the first optical waveguide based on perylene diimide (PDI) crystalline microwires. The birefringence, polarized photoluminescence emission, long distance light waveguide as well as electrical‐optical modulation were studied. PDI is a good polymeric electro‐optic material because of its low relative permittivity, low operating voltage, high thermal and photo‐stability, and easy integration on flexible substrates.

“…2 (C and G) indicate that the OPV-A and OPV-B NWs are single crystals growing along the [101] and [100] directions, respectively. The single-crystal nanostructures would exhibit excellent luminescence properties with very few defects in the material and facilitate optical waveguiding and confinement ( 41 , 42 ). The optical propagation losses of the single-crystal NWs of OPV-A and OPV-B are as low as 0.0107 and 0.0071 dB/μm, respectively (fig.…”

“…The first diffraction peak of PTCDIs micro/nanostructures is assigned as (001) and the remaining higher order peaks as (00l), which are well consistent with reported diffraction patterns of other n-alkyl 105 PTCDIs. [42][43][44][45] The multiple orders of reflection, consistent with a single preferred orientation, indicate the micro/nanostructures are implying that π-π stacking exists in the sample. 46 Although the d- 35 spacing is consistent with that of reported PTCDIs molecules, the π-π stacking distance is slightly larger than that of perylene dianhydride molecules (3.23 Å).…”

“…58 Additionally, an electrically modulated ultralong optical waveguide, based on 1D microwires (lengths of several hundred micrometers to millimeters) of PDI-C8, has been fabricated by template-assisted assembly on the surface of graphene oxide. 133 Generally, H-type aggregates of PDIs have been demonstrated to be more suitable for optical applications than Jaggregates. 134 However, although π−π stacking can facilitate Chem.…”
