Abstract

Plasma polymerized organic films deposited on a substrate exhibit broad bandwidth photoluminescence after excitation with blue, violet, or ultraviolet light. The photoluminescent properties of such organic films may be exploited by using such films as wavelength transformers for photovoltaic materials, as organic solid-state gain media, as process quality control tools, and as color-correcting coatings for fluorescent lamps.
