Electrical, Thermal Lens and Optical Study of Fluorescein Film for Application As Organic Photovoltaic Devices.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of various dielectric and optoelectrical parameters nonlinear optic behaviors, thermal lens and self-diffraction parameters of Fluorescein (FLs) doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films. The films were prepared with 60mM. These studies are based on the calculated values of refractive, absorption coefficient, energy gap, extinction coefficient and nonlinear Refraction index . The polymer films were prepared using the casting technique. All samples were previously investigated by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometric measurements and Optical microscopy SEM and ATM. Utilizing thermal lens spectrometry, an investigation of the thermo-optical characteristics as well as the nonlinear refractive index was carried out. In this method, a pump beam and a probe beam were brought into collinear alignment with one another. To determination the nonlinear Refraction index . High values of nonlinear refractive index predict a bright future for materials in optical applications. These results indicate that the new dye is a promising candidate for applications in nonlinear optical devices. Investigations were carried out on organic photovoltaic devices in addition to devices consisting of active layers with conducting polymer of PHPP:P3HT film and PHPP:P3HT/Fls. The methods of polymer and dyes synthesis are presented and their physical properties are given.
