Probing the waveguiding properties of quasi-2D organic semiconductor through optical imaging

Though there have been many investigations focusing on organic semiconductors, how to fully probe their waveguiding properties is still rarely reported. In this work, the light propagation loss in the Znq(2) samples was detected by a modified light transmission path. The results showed that the optical propagation loss coefficient of Znq(2) nanorods is similar to 0.16 dB mu m(-1). Our work fully reveals the waveguiding properties in 2D organic semiconductor by 2D & 3D imaging, which may offer a new reference for exploring novel optical properties of 2D organic semiconductors.

Automated summary

Despite numerous studies on organic semiconductors, fully probing their waveguiding properties remains a rare topic. By modifying the light transmission path, this work detected light propagation loss in Znq(2) samples and found the optical propagation loss coefficient of Znq(2) nanorods to be approximately 0.16 dB mu m(-1). Through 2D and 3D imaging, the waveguiding properties of 2D organic semiconductors were fully revealed, potentially providing new insights into novel optical properties of 2D organic semiconductors.
