Researchers trap light, improve laser potential of MEH-PPV polymer

Mar. 18, 2013 ? Researchers from North Carolina State University have come up with a low-cost way to enhance a polymer called MEH-PPV's ability to confine light, advancing efforts to use the material to convert electricity into laser light for use in photonic devices.

"Think of a garden hose. If it has holes in it, water springs out through a million tiny leaks. But if you can eliminate those leaks, you confine the water in the hose and improve the water pressure. We've plugged the holes that were allowing light to leak out of the MEH-PPV," says Dr. Lewis Reynolds, a teaching associate professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the research.

MEH-PPV is a low-cost polymer that can be integrated with silicon chips, and researchers have long sought to use the material to convert electricity into laser light for use in photonic devices such as optical amplifiers and chemical sensors. However, attempts to do this have failed because the amount of electricity needed to generate laser light in MEH-PPV was so high that it caused the material to degrade.

Now researchers have developed an inexpensive way to confine more light in the material, which lowers the energy threshold needed to produce focused laser light by 50 percent. The researchers did this by sandwiching the MEH-PPV between two materials that have matching indices of refraction, efficiently reflecting light back into the MEH-PPV and preventing light from escaping. This results in lower thresholds for laser light.

"This approach is fairly inexpensive and could also be easily scaled up for large-scale processing," Reynolds says.

The "sandwich" also makes the material more stable by limiting the MEH-PPV's exposure to oxygen. This makes the material less subject to degradation due to photo-oxidation, which occurs when materials are exposed to both light and oxygen.

"This is a meaningful step forward for low-cost fabrication of these devices, but further optimization is required," says Dr. Zach Lampert, a former Ph.D. student at NC State and lead author of the paper. "We're working on that now."

Yes to Carrots Nourishing Shampoo Review

Yes to Carrots Shampoo can be purchased at Walgreens or Target and retails for $7.99.

Anyone who knows me knows that I?m not a hair person.

I?ll spend an hour on the perfect makeup look, but hair not so much?

My hairstyles of choice (a ponytail for day and a bun for night) take 10 minutes at most.

I?m totally not joking here folks I wish I was, but I?m not.

Some days I even dream about doing the Miley Cyrus/Charlize Theron chop, but then I remember how high maintenance short hair is and decide against it.

I think one of the reasons I?m not a hair person is because my hair is super thick.

So thick in fact that almost every hair stylist I?ve ever had complains about cutting it.

So it takes a lot of time and energy to make it look good otherwise it tends to just be flat, thick and blah.

One product that makes my hair look amazing though is Yes to Carrots Nourishing Shampoo.

Out of the bazillion shampoos I?ve tried in my lifetime it?s one of the best.

A true miracle worker for hair.

It makes my hair shiny, easy to manage and silky smooth.

My hair just wouldn?t be the same without it.

It looks so good in fact I almost want to leave it down and styled, but then I check the forecast and it?s going to be 80 degrees today so up in a ponytail it goes.

Because really who wants to wear their hair down when it?s 80 degrees and super humid outside?

Not I!

If you?re looking for an amazing shampoo for thick, hard to handle hair this just might be the product you?ve been looking for.

Best,
