Dipole orientation analysis without optical simulation: application to thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitters doped in host matrix

Abstract The dipole orientation of guest emitters doped into host matrices is usually investigated by angular dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements, which acquire an out-of-plane PL radiation pattern of the guest-host thin films. The PL radiation patterns generated by these methods are typic...
