Abstract

Current issues in the development of organic materials for photonic applications are reviewed. Organic light-emitting diodes, which are a main focus of industrial research at the moment, are given special emphasis. Other applications in optical communications technology, including organic solid-state lasers, optical switching devices, and data storage, are also covered.
