The IAPP (Institut fuer Angewandte Photophysik) is an institute within the Technische Universitaet Dresden with broad experience in the investigation of physical properties of organic molecules, and their application in organic optoelectronic devices, as organic light-emitting diodes, and organic solar cells. The topics span from the investigation of the molecular properties (using ultra-fast spectroscopy, scanning probe methods, optical characterization in vacuum, etc.), over the study of molecular epitaxy (in vacuum and from solution), to the preparation and electro-optical investigation of the above-mentioned optoelectronic devices. Special focus is on electrical doping for efficient organic devices, using novel molecular dopants. Using this technique, the institute has realized several world records in OLED efficiency. In addition to the experimental work, each of the topics is supported by theoretical calculations. We briefly discuss results of a comprehensive study of controlled n- and ptype doping of various molecular organic materials.
