Lifetime, Efficiency and Photostability Enhancement of Pyrromethene Laser Dyes by Metallic Ag Nanoparticles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Complexation of metallic silver nano particles (NPs) with Pyrromethene laser dyes (PM567, PM597) has significant effect on lifetime, photostability and the fluorescence efficiency. These enhancement of optical properties of the complex in solution due to surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) have been promised higher efficiencies in case of [40% Ag NPs: PM dye] complexes for dye laser systems. The fluorescence lifetimes of PM dyes in optimum complex concentration are significantly shorter than the pure dye revealing a decrease of non-radiative decay rate of the dyes. Also, the optimum complex concentration show higher photostabilities and fluorescence efficiencies of the PM dyes than the dyes itself.

A facile one-pot microemulsion method has been developed for the synthesis of spherical silver core-silica shell (Ag@SiO2) nanoparticles with europium chelates doped in the shell through a silane agent. The method is significantly more straightforward than other extant methods. Measurements of the luminescent emissions from the Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles, in comparison with control silica nanopartic...
