摘要
Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of alpha- and beta-phase poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (F8) based waveguides has been studied and ASE wavelengths have been determined as 451 nm and 468 nm, respectively. beta-phase waveguides are found to be with higher net gain and lower light propagation loss as compared to alpha-phase waveguides. Such important improvement of ASE properties, making beta-phase waveguides superior over alpha-phase counterparts is shown to be achieved at the expense of higher refractive index and photoluminescence quantum efficiency of beta-phase F8.
