摘要
We fabricated organic electroluminescent diodes (OELD) on a polymeric optical waveguide for use as an optical interconnect in data communication systems. We fabricated the OELDs on an ITO sputtered polymeric waveguide with a 45 degrees mirror by vacuum deposition. These OELDs, with an emission peak center at 520 nm, consist of a NN ' -diphenyl-NN '-(3-methylphenyl)1,1 ' -biphenyl-4,4 ' -diamine (TPD) as a hole transporting layer and 8-hydroxyquinolie aluminum (Alq(3)) as an emissive layer. We estimated the propagation losses of the waveguide to be 1.35 dB/cm at 520 nm. The optical pulses of faster than 5 Mb/s have been generated from the OELD. We discuss the characteristics of the OLED as regards its use as a light source for polymeric waveguides. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
