  • Method for producing J aggregates
    Patent number: 8088929
    Abstract: A method for producing special supramolecular assemblies of colorants, in particular cyanine dyes, called J aggregates consists in depositing a monolayer of dendrimers on a support and subsequently in deposing cyanines in solution for forming the organized monolayer of J aggregates. The method can be used for producing a secondary light source for injecting light into a waveguide from a light energy received from a primary light source emitting at different wavelength. The secondary source, which consists of the J aggregates incorporating energy acceptors, can also be integrated into an optical device incorporating the waveguide.

  • Method for Producing J Aggregates
    Publication number: 20080279500
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing special supramolecular assemblies of colorants, in particular cyanine dyes, called J aggregates. The inventive method consists in depositing a monolayer of dendrimers on a support and subsequently in deposing cyanines in solution for forming the organised monolayer of J aggregates. Said method can be used for producing a secondary light source (28) for injecting light into a waveguide (24) from a light energy received from a primary light source (30) emitting at different wavelength. The secondary source, which consists of the J aggregates incorporating energy acceptors, can be also integrated into an optical device (23) incorporating the waveguide.
