Tunable diode lasers (TDLs) are semiconductor devices (typically GaAs) which are essentially light emitting diodes constructed with an optical resonator. Lasing is achieved by delivering a small current to the photodiode. Tuning is achieved by changing... 

A mixture of molybdenum hexacarbonyl and 4-chlorophenol is effective in performing al-kyne metathesis of dipropynylated dialkylbenzenes. Alkyne metathesis of these precursors leads to the clean formation of dialkyl poly( paraphenyleneethynylene)s (PPEs) in high yield and with high molecular weights. This facile yet effective access to the PPEs has allowed study of their spectroscopic, structural, and thermal properties. While PPEs have been made before, the dialkyl-PPEs turned out to have particularly interesting optical and liquid-crystalline properties that can be explained in terms of the conformation of the main chains. The PPEs have also been utilized to construct light-emitting diodes and other semiconductor devices. This chapter discusses the interplay of structure, chromicity, and electronic properties of the dialkyl-PPEs.

In addition, they are widely used as fluorescent molecules for laser dyes,14 in the emission layer in organic light-emitting diodes,15 and as the fluorophore in fluorescent sensors.1617 Their fluorescence properties are known to depend upon the nature and position of substituents, and therefore several groups have constructed coumarin libraries to discover better coumarin-based materials. 

Rolf Konenkamp is the Gertrude-Rempfer Professor of Physics at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. His present research interests lie in the field of nanoscience. He has worked extensively on semiconductor devices, such as nanostructured solar cells and nanowire light-emitting diodes and transistors, and he holds several patents in this area. He has led the design and construction of a new high-resolution photoelectron microscope since 2002. This will be one of the first aberration-corrected microscopes of this type and it will be used to explore transport and confinement effects on the nanoscale. He has worked at NREL, HMI Berlin, Hitachi Tokyo, Princeton University and at the 1ST in Lisbon, and he is a member of the national R D team for thin-fUm photovoltaics in the US. 

In the scope of this chapter, organometallic triplet emitters are of particular interest due to their promising use in electro-luminescent devices such as OLEDs (organic/organometallic light emitting diodes). (See for example [11-16].) In Sect. 2, the construction and working principle of an OLED is... 

Direct bandgap 11-VI semiconductors have opened up the blue-green region of the spectrum and a range of novel applications in optoelectronics. There are many potential applications for compact laser and Light Emitting Diodes (LED), but it is essential to minimize defects and imperfections which decrease the radiative yield of photons. This explains the interest of the construction of epitaxial structures between... 

Self-assembly is a demonstrated strategy to achieve interconnections and to construct three-dimensional circuits and structures. Self-assembly of millimeter-scale polyhedra, with surfaces patterned with solder dots, and light-emitting diodes, generated electrically functional, three-dimensional networks. The patterns of dots and wires controlled the structure of the networks formed. Both parallel and serial connections were formed. This self-assembly mechanism may be suitable for generating other stmctures for implantates and biosensors. ...
