Photoinduced electron-transfer processes are enhanced or quenched by application of electric fields, depending on the donor–acceptor pairs. Electric-field-induced quenching of photoluminescence, which results from the field-induced dissociation of the exciton state that depends on the photoexcitation wavelength, is observed in π-conjugated polymers. These electric-field effects on photoinduced dynamics have been confirmed by the measurements both of electroabsorption and electrophotoluminescence spectra and of time-resolved electrophotoluminescence decays. Time-resolved measurements of photocurrent, with which novel material function in electrical conductivity of organic materials induced by photo-irradiation and application of electric fields is confirmed, are also reviewed.
