Organic solids and polymers that absorb in the near-infrared (NIR) region (1000-2000 nm) represent a class of emerging materials and show a great potential for use in photonics and telecommunications. The radical anions of stacked aromatic imides, fused phorphyrin arrays, polythiophenes, sandwich-type lanthanide bisphthalocyanines, semiquinones, and mixed-valence dinuclear metal complexes are a few known examples of NIR-absorbing organic materials. Most of these NIR-absorbing materials are also electrochemically active or electrochromic (EC). This brief review covers several types of NIR-absorbing organic materials and discusses their potentials for applications in EC variable optical attenuators (VOAs).
