Polymer Microcavities with TDBC J-Aggregates

This study explores the possibility of incorporating a J-aggregate emitter as an engineered defect into all-polymer microcavities (MCs) to enhance its emission properties. J-aggregates have unique optical properties with sharp absorbance and photoluminescence signals. The results show the effectiveness of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) – Aquivion® microcavities on the J-aggregate emission, creating highly emissive optical structures with improved spectral selectivity. These outcomes open up new opportunities for enriching the performance and versatility of photonic devices, with applications in sensing, lasing and optical communication due to the tunable optical properties of MCs.
