New Fluorinated Polymers Doped with BODIPY Chromophore as Highly Efficient and Photostable Optical Materials

The design and synthesis of new fluorinated polymers opens new challenges for the science of materials and enhances novel properties, economic processes, and innovative applications, especially in optoelectronic and biophotonic fields. The development of efficient, highly stable and inexpensive hosts for laser dyes promises to fill the gap between non-user-friendly liquid dye lasers and expensive inorganic solid-state lasers.
