Abstract :
Organic semiconducting materials have been researched for novel optoelectronic devices due to their efficient light emission and high gain properties. Such devices range from organic light-emitting diodes and solar cells to lasers and amplifiers. This paper explores the research carried out on one of these devices: organic semiconductor amplifiers that have shown to give high gains of 20-40 dB in solution and solid state.
