Thin organic photodiode

The highly oriented molecules in thin organic films such as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films and self-assembled monolayers (SAM) [1] are essential for some molecular functions. Non linear optical and opto-electronic properties are two of the most important and interesting functions of these molecular assemblies. In the past more than thirteen years, simulation of the primary process of photosynthesis using such molecular assemblies and its application to molecular photodiodes [2,3] have been one of the main subjects of our laboratory.

Thin-film organic photodiodes as integrated photodetectors for microscale chemiluminescence assays were reported by Hofmann et al. [10]. 

Integration of thin-fihn organic LED and organic photodiode (OPD) in microfluidic chips have been successfully implemented in [8] by Pais et al. (Fig. 5.2). Limit of detection (LOD) of Rhodamine 6G was l(X)nM, whereas that for fluorescein dye was 10 pM.
