Understanding of the light induced charge carrier dynamics in organic semiconductors is essential to improve material properties and processing parameters, and, at long sight, device performance. Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity (TRMC) gives direct access to the microscopic transport properties, as the high frequency alternating electric field limits the drift of the charge carriers. After laser pulse excitation TRMC signal decays in P3HT:PCBM blends with varying PCBM content have been observed exhibiting a power law time dependence. The influence of morphology and temperature on the charge carrier recombination and mobility on a microscopic scale can thus be investigated.
