Abstract

We report the construction of an organic crystal multiplexer using three chemically and optically different acicular, flexible organic crystals for a broadband, visible light signal transportation. The mechanical integration of a highly flexible crystal waveguide of (Z)-2-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(7-methoxybenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-yl)acrylonitrile (BTD2CF3 ) displaying bright yellow (λ1 ) fluorescence with blue-emitting (λ2 ) BPP and cyan emitting (λ3 ) DBA crystals using AFM-tip provides a composite organic crystal multiplexer. The constructed hybrid single crystal multiplexer effectively transduces three optical signals (λ1 +λ2 +λ3 ) covering the 420-750 nm region as a composite output signal. The presented proof-of-principle experiment demonstrates the real potential of organic flexible crystal waveguides for visible light communication technologies.
