Abstract
Organic materials and polymers have been extensively studied for the purpose of extracting opto-electronic functions from devices based on them [1]. Such materials are easily processed and can be chemically engineered to obtain absorption and emission bands covering the entire visible spectrum [2]. The possibility of using the photovoltaic effect in organic devices for optical detection and energy conversion has increasingly motivated research in this field in recent years. Some of the driving force for this development has been the successful demonstration of high energy conversion efficiency in hybrid organic/inorganics, such as in the Grätzel cell.
