Fluorescence spectra and optical constants in planar waveguides of spiro-quaterphenyl and two of its derivatives are investigated. Threshold of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and optical gain are determined. The thickness dependence of ASE spectral position, ASE threshold, and optical gain are investigated as well. Additionally, photodegradation in air and in vacuum for spiro-quaterphenyl and...
