Handbook of Organic Materials for Optical and (Opto)Electronic Devices

Preface

Organic (opto)electronic and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have attracted attention due to their low cost, easy fabrication, and tunable properties. This has spurred the rapid development of the field of organic (opto)electronics and nonlinear optics over the past 15–20 years: a variety of novel materials have been synthesized and characterized, novel experimental techniques that enabled better understanding of physics behind optoelectronic and NLO properties have been established, and various exciting applications have been demonstrated. This book aims to provide an overview of recent developments in all three areas (materials development, characterization techniques, and applications). Although in the edited book it is difficult ...
