    Abstract Photonic glasses (PGs) based on the self-assembly of monosized nanoparticles can be an effective tool for realizing disordered structures capable of tailoring light diffusion due to the establishment of Mie resonances. In particular, the wavelength position of these resonances depends mainly on the morphology (dimension) and optical properties (refractive index) of the building blocks. In this study, we report the fabrication and optical characterization of photonic glasses obtained via a self-assembling technique. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the infiltration of these systems with a green-emitting polymer enhances the properties of the polymer, resulting in a large increase in its photoluminescence quantum yield and a 3 ps growing time of the photoluminescence time decay Finally, the development of the aforementioned system can serve as a suitable low-cost platform for the realization of lasers and fluorescence-based bio-sensors.

    Abstract In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in the development of organic compounds emitting in the near-infrared (NIR) region due to their stimulating applications, such as biosensing and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). Moreover, a lot of effort has been devoted to finding organic emitters with optical gain in the NIR region for lasing applications. In this paper, we present the ultrafast spectroscopy of an asymmetric AZA-BODIPY molecule that shows relevant photophysical changes moving from a diluted solution to a concentrated solution and to a spin-coated film. The diluted solution and the spin-coated film show a bleaching band and a stimulated emission band in the visible region, while the very concentrated solution displays a broad (150 nm) and long-living (more than 400 ps) optical gain band in the NIR region, centered at 900 nm. Our results pave the way for a new organic laser system in a near-infrared spectral region.

    Abstract Molecular dyes are finding more and more applications in photonics and quantum technologies, such as polaritonic optical microcavities, organic quantum batteries and single-photon emitters for quantum sensing and metrology. For all these applications, it is of crucial importance to characterize the dephasing mechanisms. In this work we use two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) to study the temperature dependent dephasing processes in the prototypical organic dye Lumogen-F orange. We model the 2DES maps using the Bloch equations for a two-level system and obtain a dephasing time T

    Abstract The 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY)-based molecules have emerged as interesting material for optoelectronic applications. The facile structural modification of BODIPY core provides an opportunity to fine-tune its photophysical and optoelectronic properties thanks to the presence of eight reactive sites which allows for the developing of a large number of functionalized derivatives for various applications. This review will focus on BODIPY application as solid-state active material in solar cells and in photonic devices. It has been divided into two sections dedicated to the two different applications. This review provides a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the conclusions that can be drawn. The main current research outcomes are summarized to guide the readers towards the full exploitation of the use of this material in optoelectronic applications.

    Abstract Multilayers of sulfur-based anchoring group linkers and CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) were realized on indium-tin oxide substrate via layer-by-layer alternation. The materials were investigated by UV–vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and photoconductivity. We found that the change of NC packing during multilayer build-up produces a progressive increase of exciton delocalization. In fact during multilayer deposition, the first excitonic peak of NCs shifts progressively toward longer wavelengths. We found a linear relation between the optical band gap shift (ΔEgₙ) and the inverse of the number of CdSe-NC layers (n) for n > 2, in particular, the decrease of its value for the infinite multilayer from one of the solution (2.10 eV) goes from 18 meV for the 1,2-ethylene-bis(dithiocarbamate) linker to 66 meV for sulfide dianions, corresponding to an apparent increase of the exciton radius of 0.20 and 0.85 nm, respectively.

    Abstract Multilayered films composed by CdSe Nanocrystals (NCs) interlinked by ethylene-1,2-bis(dithiocarbamate) or adipate anions were prepared on ITO glass via layer-by-layer alternation. The films were analyzed by UV-vis, TEM, Photoluminescence (PL) emission and Pump-Probe spectroscopy. While the PL emission of the two samples present no differences, femtosecond Pump-probe experiments reveal an higher charge generation efficiency in bis(dithiocarbamate) based films than in dicarboxylate ones.

    Abstract The development of high performance optically pumped organic lasers operating in the deep blue still remains a big challenge. In this paper, we have investigated the photophysics and the optical gain characteristics of a novel fluorene oligomer functionalized by four triphenylamine (TPA) groups. By ultrafast spectroscopy we found a large gain spectral region from 420 to 500 nm with a maximum gain cross-section of 1.5 × 10

    Abstract The rate at which matter emits or absorbs light can be modified by its environment, as markedly exemplified by the widely studied phenomenon of superradiance. The reverse process, superabsorption, is harder to demonstrate because of the challenges of probing ultrafast processes and has only been seen for small numbers of atoms. Its central idea—superextensive scaling of absorption, meaning larger systems absorb faster—is also the key idea underpinning quantum batteries. Here, we implement experimentally a paradigmatic model of a quantum battery, constructed of a microcavity enclosing a molecular dye. Ultrafast optical spectroscopy allows us to observe charging dynamics at femtosecond resolution to demonstrate superextensive charging rates and storage capacity, in agreement with our theoretical modeling. We find that decoherence plays an important role in stabilizing energy storage. Our work opens future opportunities for harnessing collective effects in light-matter coupling for nanoscale energy capture, storage, and transport technologies.
