Optical response and emission waveguiding in rubrene crystals
Silvia Tavazzi,Alessandro Borghesi,Antonio Papagni,Peter Spearman,Peter Spearman,Leonardo Silvestri,A. Yassar,Andrea Camposeo,M. Polo,Dario Pisignano +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical response of rubrene crystals is described by providing the full UV-VIS dielectric tensor, and the lowest crystal transition originates from an ${A}_{u}$ molecular transition, it is polarized along the $c$ axis (normal to the larger crystal face), and it is the origin of the emission which is self-guided towards the edge where the corresponding polarization and intensity angular distribution are detected.
