Outline of Final Research Achievements

We revealed the origin of the high optical propagation loss in polymer nanofibers mainly measuring their propagation loss with different wavelengths. Additionally, polymer nanofibers composed of materials used for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) were successfully produced. The optical propagation loss in the produced nanofibers were evaluated. The propagation loss was lowest in that of polymer nanofibers composed of OLED materials. Finally, we succeeded to produce heterogeneous counter electrodes sandwiching the produced fibers.
