The enhancement of light absorption and photoluminescence quenching properties of the bulk heterojunction systems which were fabricated using poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK); poly(N-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and fullerene derivative 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl) propyl-1-phenyl[6,6] C61 (PCBM) were investigated. The optimized material showed a broad absorption in the region from ultra violet to near infra-red and the photoluminescence quenching higher than 90%. The obtained results provide further insight into photophysics of the heterojunction system and device performance improvement by using this system as an active layer.

INTRODUCTION Application of conducting polymers to optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting diodes, and solar cells are of practical significance, because the polymer mixture can be easily prepared and modified by rich chemical procedures to meet optical and electronic requirements. Similar to inorganic solar cells, charge carriers in organic photovoltaic are
