We examine exciton diffusion in a triplet-sensitized organic photovoltaic cell, where transport occurs via the long-lived triplet state of a fluorescent electron donor. While the triplet state is optically dark, it is populated via sensitization by a guest species capable of intersystem crossing. Here, the host material is metal-free phthalocyanine (H2Pc), and the triplet-sensitizing guest is copper phthalocyanine (CuPc). Optical excitation of H2Pc leads to the generation of singlet excitons which rapidly undergo energy transfer to CuPc. Excitons on CuPc undergo intersystem crossing to the triplet state followed by energy transfer back to the H2Pc triplet state. The exciton diffusion length (LD) is extracted using an internal quantum efficiency ratio methodology that permits accurate device-based measurements of exciton transport even in the presence of geminate recombination losses. The donor layer LD varies with composition with a maximum LD of (13.4 ± 1.6 nm) observed at 20 vol % CuPc, an almost 60% in...
