Abstract

The characterization of the spectral emission and of the photostability of polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with conjugated polymers has been carried out taking into account the distribution of the dopant in the fiber core. Four different conjugated polymers embedded in the matrix of the typical POF material have been analyzed. Measurements include, among others, evolutions of the emission with excitation wavelength and time, spectral changes for different excitation irradiances, and the influence of the propagation distance along the fiber.
