Abstract

A novel and simple Sm³⁺-doped-polymer/Ag/ SiO₂ trilayer structure was fabricated to investigate the impact of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) on the emission quantum efficiency of the dipole emitter Sm³⁺. Photoluminescence(PL) enhancement factors for samples with different Ag thicknesses (30-70nm) were found to be different when the thickness of the Sm³⁺-doped-polymer film was kept constant (220nm). Theoretical analysis suggests that the electron density of the metal film plays an important role in the SPP assisted PL enhancement process, and this was confirmed in a Sm³⁺-doped-polymer/Ag/Au/ SiO₂ multilayer structure. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
