Probing the waveguiding properties of quasi-2D organic semiconductor through optical imaging

Abstract

Though there have been many investigations focusing on organic semiconductors, how to fully probe their waveguiding properties is still rarely reported. In this work, the light propagation loss in the Znq _2 samples was detected by a modified light transmission path. The results showed that the optical propagation loss coefficient of Znq _2 nanorods is ∼0.16 dB μ m ^−1 . Our work fully reveals the waveguiding properties in 2D organic semiconductor by 2D & 3D imaging, which may offer a new reference for exploring novel optical properties of 2D organic semiconductors.
