POPOP or 1,4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl) benzene is a scintillator. It is used as a wavelength shifter (also called a "secondary scintillator"), which means that it converts shorter wavelength light to longer wavelength light. Its output spectrum peaks at 410 nm, which is violet.[1] POPOP is used in both solid and liquid organic scintillators.
