Laboratorio di Fotonica Molecolare

Descrizione

The Molecular Photonics Laboratory (MPL) was established in 1997 and gathers equipment, expertise and experiments used for the study of the linear, nonlinear, photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of molecular and polymeric organic materials. Such materials are used for the fabrication of integrated optical devices, organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and dye-sensitized organic solar cells (DSSC). Since 2007 the laboratory started migrating towards the field of Biophotonics, in which the materials are still organic but of biological origin. We worked hard to pursuit such a transition, which involved a modification of the experimental techniques and their integration with new expertise in chemistry and biochemistry. We believe the transition is now complete as witnessed by our latest publications in the field.
