Comprehensive simulation of light-emitting and light-harvesting organic devices

A comprehensive electronic-optical simulation tool for the design of complex organic multi-layer device structures is presented. The physical models comprise the key optical and electronic processes governing organic light-emitting (OLEDs) and light-harvesting devices. The simulation of such devices is demonstrated for electronic-only or optics-only models as well as for electronic-optical and optical-electronic coupled device models. Validation examples with experimental data and applications for device Simulations are also discussed. It is shown that both light-emitting and light-harvesting devices require careful optical as well as electronic multilayer design and characterization.
