OLET architectures for electrically-pumped organic lases

Organic light emitting transistors (OLET) have been recently demonstrated as innovative architectures combining into an integrated optoelectronic device multi-functional properties namely, the driving ability of a transistor device with the conversion of electrical current into efficient light emission via electronic relaxation of organic semiconductors. State of the art materials, achievement and performances will be presented and discussed in view of possible OLET architectures exploitation as electrically pumped organic nanolasers. © 2008 SPIE.
