Abstract :
Summary form only given. Among many conjugated polymers, polythiophene and its derivatives are attractive material for the nonlinear optical devices because they are stable for both oxygen and moisture. However, the optical excitation dynamics in polythiophenes is not sufficiently investigated. In this study, we report time-resolved photoluminescence experiments on highly ordered and disordered films of polythiophene derivative to understand the excitation dynamics.
