DESIGN AND PHOTONICS OF MODERN LIGHT ENERGY CONVERTERS BASED ON POLYMETHINE DYES
According to the materials of scientific report at the meeting of the Presidium of NAS of Ukraine, September 27, 2017

Regularities that connect the photonic properties of polymethine dyes with their structure and medium nature are considered. Particular attention is paid to non-trivial effects: violation of the classical law of the mirror symmetry of absorption and fluorescence spectra; unusual solvatochromism of symmetric dyes; approximation of typical electron-asymmetric dyes in the excited state to symmetric, which causes a record increase of Stokes shift; dependences of photophysical and nonlinear-optical properties of polymethines on the nature of uncolored counterion. The factors that determine them are analyzed. Examples of practical application of the developed polymethines in laser technology, nonlinear optics, holography, photovoltaics, electroluminescence and photodynamic therapy are given. Features of their structure, providing the possibility of using polymethines in these areas, are interpreted.
Keywords: polymethine dyes, electronic structure, spectral luminescent and nonlinear optical properties, solvatochromism, aggregation, laser, holographic, photovoltaic and electroluminescent media.
