摘要
We have produced a silicon based organic light emitting diode (OLED) which emits 1.5 mum electroluminescence at room temperature. The emitting layer used was erbium tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) and energy is transferred from excitons formed on the organic ligands into the erbium ion. Characteristic emission is observed through the silicon substrate at 1.5 pm due to the I-4(13/2) to I-4(15/2) iatra-atomic transition. Whilst the device is not suited to conventional OLED applications, due to the long lifetime of the I-4(13/2) to I-4(15/2) transition, it is a significant step towards the development of a 1.5 mum laser which can be integrated onto a silicon waveguide.
