Introduction

RADIANT (Chiral Light Emitting Diodes based in Photonic Architectures) is an innovative research endeavor with a transformative mission: the production of high-performing and cost-efficient chiral LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that harness the optical properties of scalable chiral metasurfaces, operating seamlessly across the visible to near-infrared spectrum.

Project Goals

With a multifaceted approach, the project seeks to endow with chirality three distinct technologies:

  1. Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)
  2. Perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs)
  3. Quantum Dot LEDs (QdotLEDs)

This promises exceptionally bright output and remarkable degrees of circular polarization.

Applications

These chiral LEDs find diverse applications in fields such as:

  • Display technology
  • Communications
  • Sensing
  • Advanced lighting systems

They promise to revolutionize various industries with their enhanced optical properties and broad spectral range.

Technology and Methodology

Leveraging the unique chiroptical response of chiral metasurfaces, RADIANT precisely modulates high Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) emitters, including:

  • Perovskite nanocrystals
  • Quantum dots
  • Organic semiconductors

This is achieved using advanced nanophotonic architectures that interact with light through optical resonances, thereby enhancing and modulating the light emission.

Innovative Process

At the core of the project lies a novel, scalable, and low carbon footprint soft nanoimprinting process that enables seamless integration of photonic nanostructures across different LED technologies in a broad spectral range.

Environmental Impact

RADIANT unlocks the potential of nanophotonics for optoelectronic technologies through cost-effective and scalable chiral metasurfaces produced via soft nanoimprinting lithography while reducing the dependency on critical raw materials currently used in advanced LEDs.

Conclusion

RADIANT promises to revolutionize the billionaire LED landscape market, combining technological innovation, economic viability, and environmental sustainability.
