Luminescence Enhancement of Samarium-Doped Tellurite Glass Containing Silver Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

Samarium-doped tellurite glass embedded with silver nanoparticles are synthesized by melt quenching technique and optically characterized. The effect of silver nanoparticles on the luminescent properties of the samarium-doped sodium tellurite glass is investigated. Upon pumping with 406 nm radiation, it is found that there are four distinctive emission bands centered at 562 nm, 599 nm, 645 nm and 705 nm. In the presence of silver nanoparticles in the glass substrates, we observe significant enhancement in the intensity of these emission bands. The enhancement tends to increase with the increasing of silver nanoparticles concentration. The mechanism of luminescence enhancement is discussed in terms of localized surface plasmon resonance.
