Devices based on a-SiC H have certain advantages over other semiconductor materials in a number of applications in optoelectronics, such as thin-film light-emitting diodes, coatings for laser facets, and a broadband window material for amorphous solar cells [163-165], These applications exploit the fact that the optical energy gap and the refractive index of the films can be varied by changing their chemical composition.

Interest surged in studies of fluorescence after the discovery of electroluminescence from PPV (Burroughes et al., 1990), because of its potential for practical application in light emitting devices (LEDs). Electroluminescence is fluorescent emission produced by the recombination of electrons and holes injected into a thin film of conjugated polymer, and will be discussed in the next section. If photoluminescent emission from a polymer is weak, then the electroluminescence is unlikely to be of practical significance, and consequently studies of photoluminescence and photoluminescent quantum efficiency have been used as a means of selecting polymers likely to be useful in LEDs.
