Photo-modulation of light up-conversion in light transducer using high-gain photoresponsive amorphous silicon carbide combined with organic electroluminescent diode

Abstract
Photo-modulation of light up-conversion was successfully demonstrated in a new type of light transducer using a high-gain photoresponsive amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H) combined with an organic electroluminescent (EL) diode. Green EL output up-converted from red input-light was reversibly photo-modulated by the simultaneously irradiated ultraviolet light due to the effective suppression of photocurrent multiplication in a-SiC:H film. The present device can be applicable to the logic device for two-dimensional optical computing.
