Abstract: | Anisotropic organic molecular construction and packing are crucial for the optoelectronic properties of organic crystals. Two-dimensional (2D) organic crystals with regular morphology and good photon confinement are potentially suitable for a chip-scale planar photonics system. Herein, through the bottom-up process, 2D halogen-bonded DPEpe- F4DIB cocrystals were fabricated that exhibit an asymmetric optical waveguide with the optical-loss coefficients of RBackward=0.0346 dB/μm-1 and RForward=0.0894 dB/μm-1 along the [010] crystal direction, which can be attributed to the unidirectional total internal reflection caused by the anisotropic molecular packing mode. Based on this crystal direction-oriented asymmetric photon transport, these as prepared 2D cocrystals have been demonstrated as a microscale optical logic gate with multiple input/out channels, which will offer potential applications as the 2D optical component for the integrated organic photonics. |
