1. Obtaining new composite materials from fluorophores, semiconductors and polymers.
2. The study of optical properties of these materials.

Tasks of the working activity:

 1.  Carry out an analysis of scientific literature.

 2.  Produce the selection of promising optical materials.

 3.  Prepare an application for patent.

    To select the most appropriate methods for achieving the goals, most recent scientific papers and patents on the corresponding researches and innovation will be analyzed at the beginning and all subsequent stages of the activity.

  During the work new composite materials will be synthesized on the basis of light sensitive compounds of chalcogenide (As-S, As-S-Se, As-Se), organic fillers (polyvinylpyrrolidone, poly acrylate and other polymers)) and fluorescent benzanthrone dyes synthesized in part of activity No.2.  As it is known, chalcogenides thin films have a high refractive index, high transparency in the infrared region, simple acquisition technology and it is used in various devices such as planar waveguides, diffractive elements and as the medium for holographic recording.

Composite materials which are obtained in this project and which  integrate optical properties of chalcogenides and intense and external-factors-sensitive luminiscence of organic fluorophores in the same medium, are perspectives as optical recording and transformation mediums, parametric amplifiers and optical planar elements in the integral optics.

The project is designed to explore linear and nonlinear optical properties of the obtained composite materials, to develop obtaining technology of thin films and nanostructured materials on these composites bases, and to investigate the structure of nanomaterials and assess their practical application possibilities. Develop a patent application on the most perspective materials, which will become the basis of light, ions, pH, pK, etc. sensitive sensors.
