Vladimir Bulović's organic-optoelectronics course connects molecular excited states with practical light-emitting and photovoltaic devices. Its treatment follows excitons from their creation through diffusion and energy transfer, then asks whether that excitation produces light or collected electric charge. This distinction explains why efficient absorption alone does not guarantee an efficient solar cell or organic light-emitting diode. Comparing molecular energy levels, interfaces and transport makes device behavior understandable from the processes that compete inside the material.[ref]
