Abstract

Abstract : Entropic mixing of two or more derivatives of highly similar dye molecules results in thin films showing almost solution‐like photophysical properties. Mixed films of new, low molecular weight BODIPY dyes, with short alkyl chains in the α‐position, were fabricated and furthermore used in an optical cavity, where the strong coupling regime was reached.
