How light interacts with advanced materials is vital to optical technologies from solar cells to light-emitting devices. Advanced optical materials enable a tailor-made control over this interaction, whether light is being absorbed or emitted.
In the articles below there is a selection of research work showing how the different designs of integrated photonic architectures allow precise control of properties of solar cells, perovskite cells, meso-devices, LED, nanophosphors and optical coatings. To get the needed level of confidence in the optical material analysis, in the application notes you will find insights on the technology used, including how to capture both absolute reflectance and transmission at any angle with fine angular control and automation, precise and detailed measurement of optical constants, and the validation of optical designs.
