Luminescent Thin Films: Transparent Nanometric Organic Luminescent Films as UV-Active Components in Photonic Structures (Adv. Mater. 6/2011)

The inside cover shows two types of photonic structures selectively deposited with a highly fluorescent and transparent organic thin film, as reported by Angel Barranco and co-workers on p. 761. These structures select and couple the green luminescence of the organic film up to the waveguide outputs in the photonic chip edge. The luminescent films are grown by a gentle deposition process fully compatible with sensitive and flexible substrates and easily scalable at the wafer level.
