Thin Film Optics is a multi-disciplinary field which creates new generations of innovative products by combining chemistry, nano-optics, printing technology and systems engineering. CSEM's focus is on applications in branding, brand-protection sensing and printing.

Within our Thin Film Optics activity we develop mass-producable optoelectronic and optical components based on semiconducting organic materials and passive nano-optical devices. Such components include replicated optical devices, PLED's, micro-optical elements, printable sensors and spectrometers, as well as combinations of these in highly integrated and compact systems. To this end, the development and optimization of novel embossing and printing technologies combined with new semiconducting organic materials is of prime importance. We have the capability to create high-throughput materials screening as well as to perform simulation to predict device performance.
