Effect of TiO2 Compact Layer on Optical Absorption and Fluorescence Performance of R6G/PMMA Composite Light - Guided Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rhodamine 6G (R6G) and Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) light-guided films accompanied with titanium dioxide thin layer were prepared by spin-coating process onto on glass substrate. Dichloromethane was used as disperser for blending R6G and PMMA. The TiO2 layer thickness was varied by controlling spinning speed. The effects of TiO2 layer with different thickness on optical absorption and florescence performance of the films were investigated and the results exhibited strong absorption of TiO2 in UV region and the enhancement in florescence efficiency with increasing TiO2 film thickness.
