Active Organic Surface Plasmon Enhanced Nanophotonic Devices

In this project, surface plasmon enhancement of emission from discrete active organic 1-D photonic nanostructures will be investigated as a means to enhancing the performance and electrical integration potential of miniaturized organic emissive devices. To this end, nobel metal (e.g., silver or gold) nanoparticles (NPs) which can support surface plasmons will be brought into close proximity (5 - 20 nm) to a light emitting conjugated polymer nanowire.
