Popis: We have investigated the absorption spectra of thin solid films of alkyl-substituted oligothiophenes in both the neutral and doped states over a photon energy range of 0.05-5.0 eV. In the neutral state these oligomers display the π-π * transition bands in the near-UV to visible region with fine structures on the low-energy side. We found two different oxidized states for the doped species; the lower state is characterized by two subgap bands in the near-IR region that are induced upon doping and the higher state by only one band. In the two oxidized species, the π-π * band exhibits increasing intensity on the lower energy side at increasing doping levels and, finally, the absorption maximum is shifted to a low-energy region at the highest doping levels
