Wrocław University of Science and Technology and the University of Angers in France will jointly carry out advanced research into the effect of light on organic materials. The international project has received funding under the PHC Polonium program.
– Our cooperation concerns the design, synthesis, and experimental studies of basic non-linear optical, luminescent, and laser properties of completely new organic compounds as well as nano- and micro-hybrid systems – explains the project coordinator, Prof. Jarosław Myśliwiec from the Department of Engineering and Modelling of Advanced Materials at WUST Faculty of Chemistry.
Researchers from Poland and France will examine how to optimise the chemical structure of organic optically non-linear and luminescent chromophores to obtain material properties sufficient for practical applications in modern nanophotonics and optoelectronics.
Potential applications of such photoactive materials include Li-Fi data transmission technology, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), white light lasers, planar optical fibre, photovoltaic cells, transistors and phototransistors, or logic gates.
The project involves the exchange of experiences and joint research, to be carried out at both universities. – The researchers from the University of Angers will synthesize a variety of new molecules, which are efficient dyes and luminophores characterised by increased quantum efficiency. As for our contribution, we can share our achievements and experience in the field of non-linear optics and lasers – explains Professor Jarosław Myśliwiec.
The project "Novel organic materials for nano/micro lasing and non-linear optics" is financed by a bilateral exchange program of scientists organised jointly with France PHC Polonium and supervised by the National Academic Exchange Agency (NAWA).
The cooperation will allow doctoral students and young researchers from Poland and France to carry out their scientific research projects. Under the two-year program, our university has received financial support of 20,000 PLN.
