We report a five-fold overall enhancement of upconversion emission in NaYF(4) : Yb/Er nanocrystals when coupled with gold island films. Spectroscopic studies show that the enhancement factors are highly dependent on the exact spectral positions and excitation power density, with a largest enhancement factor of more than 12 observed at selected spectral positions, which may be attributed to different upconversion processes involved.
我们报告了在与金岛膜耦合时,NaYF(4):Yb/Er 纳米晶体上的上转换发射增强了五倍。光谱研究表明,增强因子高度依赖于精确的光谱位置和激发功率密度,在选定的光谱位置观察到最大增强因子超过 12,这可能归因于涉及的不同上转换过程。
