Abstract

A millimeter planar polymer light-emitting electrochemical cell was turned on in a cryogenic probe station and subsequently cooled to freeze the doping profile. A 442nm laser beam guided by an optical fiber was scanned across the interelectrode gap of several millimeters and the photovoltaic response was measured as a function of position. Both photocurrent and photovoltage profiles display a prominent peak at the geometric boundary of the p- and n-doped regions. A non-zero photovoltaic response throughout the p- and n-doped regions can be explained by various broadening mechanisms including non-uniform doping and secondary excitation by waveguided light. The photovoltaic response is weakest at the electrode/polymer interfaces.
