Synopsis

Organic semiconductors are a broad class of materials comprising small molecules, conjugated polymers and carbon-based nanostructures (e.g. carbon nanotubes). They all have in common p-electron delocalization, in low dimensional space, which yields a number of interesting properties for photonics such as large optical cross-sections and short response time, large nonlinear optical responses, energy and charge transport, together with mechanical qualities (film formation, deposition, high damage threshold, low cost technology). In addition, the interaction of organic and inorganic semiconductors leads to new and promising functions which appear in hybrid systems and devices. This topical meeting aims at providing a state-of-art review on organic and hybrid photonics, including its fundamentals, potential and applications. The programme format allows for open discussion among participants and fruitful exchange of experience.
