Noble Metals Enhanced Frequency Conversion Luminescence of Ln3+ Ions Doped Glasses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Luminescence of trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln3+) doped glasses is influenced by many factors. The emission enhancement of Ln3+ can be achieved either through an external approach or an internal adjustment. The external approaches mainly include application of metal nanoparticles, which changes the local structure, local filed and interaction with active ions. In this work, efforts to obtain luminescence enhancement in Ln3+ through introducing noble metals are reviewed. The merits of different processes are concluded.
