Time-dependence measurement of photoconductivity crucial for the new type of organic optical components

On 25^th of July 2016, the prestigious international journal Nature Nanotechnology has published an article by an international group of scientists from the University of Strasbourg (France) and the University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia). The article presents the results of an experimental study of a novel two dimensional nanostructured photo-sensor. The photo-sensor comprises two-dimensionally aligned semiconducting polymer nanowires, which results to be highly efficient system for the detection of the visible light. This discovery opens the door to the development of fast light photo-sensors, which will be entirely made of organic materials. The sensors exhibit response times below 10 ns and extremely high signal to noise ratios. More can be found here or here (in slovenian language).
