In this work, large-size tetracene- and pentacene-doped 1,4-Bis(4-methylstyryl)-benzene (BSB-Me) crystals were prepared with physical vapor transfer technique. The photoluminescence emission can be adjusted from blue to green and even to red by changing the doping. Their fluorescence features are investigated by both the steady-state fluorescence spectra and time-resolved fluorescence measurements, which indicate highly efficient energy transfer from the host BSB-Me to the acceptor. The PL efficiencies of the tetracene- doped BSB-Me and pentacene-doped BSB-Me crystals are as high as 79% and 47%, the energy transfer efficiency is 49.7% and 73.1%, respectively. Excitation intensity-dependent ultrafast dynamics was further probed, which shows that the kinetics in doped crystals exhibit much less excitation intensity dependence than that of the pure BSB-Me crystals. Our results are relevant to the understanding of ultrafast energy-transfer dynamics in doped crystals and are expected to be of interest for organic light emitting transistors, diodes, and lasers.
