In this paper, we present measurements of the charge-carrier transport in the conjugated polymer poly (paraphenylenevinylene) (PPV) and its substituted derivative poly (1, 4-phenylene-1, 2-diphen- oxyphenyl vinylene) (DPOP-PPV) by using the time-of-flight technique. A method for evaluating the experiments, based on Fourier transform techniques, is presented to calculate the density of localized states from the measured photocurrent within a multiple trapping model. The transport properties of DPOP-PPV can be described by a conventional hopping mechanism, where nearly every monomer acts as a trap. At room temperature, the effective mobility for holes in DPOP-PPV is in the range of 10^-4 cm^2/V s, whereas for PPV, a value of less than 10^-8 cm^2/V s can be estimated.
