摘要 |
<p>The present invention provides a family of novel polymeric devices including an optical laser and optical amplifier, as well as novel methods and materials for their manufacture. The devices of the invention preferably each comprise optical nonlinear second-order polymers (including polymer blends) which exhibit electroluminescence. The devices can be present in a single layer (e.g., either singly, or in an array including a side-by-side arrangement), and optionally comprise a plurality of layers, such as at least two layers, preferably which are stacked (e.g., either a stack of single devices, or a stack of arrayed devices). The devices of the invention optionally can be fabricated attached to other devices (optical or non-optical) or elements of devices (e.g., electrodes and the like).</p> |
