Research abstract
The goal of this project is to develop a novel self-aligned fabrication process to efficiently integrate organic light emitting diodes (OLED) with planar glass optical waveguides. The proposed innovative heterogeneous integration is potentially an extremely low cost technique to efficiently couple light from broad-band organic LEDs to optical waveguides, which has numerous applications in modern opto-electronics. The potential applications include optical interconnects and guided--wave absorption spectroscopy.
