Abstract:

High-refractive-index polymer hybrid materials, such as OrmoClear show interesting properties for a variety of potential applications. When doped with quantum nanoparticles, this hybrid polymer promotes enhanced optical properties that can have huge advantage in photonic applications. The particle size and composition of these quantum nanoparticles can be tuned in order to introduce new properties to the materials. For an experimental evaluation, the comparative studies of different quantum nanoparticles, such as dots, rods and plates were made. The continuous films of all three kinds of quantum nanoparticles were produced and the fluorescence spectra were measured. In comparison between different quantum nanoparticles, the quantum rods showed brightest emission. Afterwards, these quantum nanoparticles were embedded into a high-refractive-index photocurable OrmoClear in order to produce waveguide structures by photolithography technique. The lasing potential of the doped polymer was evaluated by investigating the efficiency of the light propagating through the waveguide. The optical properties were evaluated based on the concentration of the quantum nanoparticles as well as the structural parameters of the polymers.
