Abstract

Germano-silicate glass fiber containing gold nanoparticles was developed by modified chemical vapor deposition and solution doping processes. Pumping with 488nm Argon ion laser, we firstly report on the visible to infrared photoluminescence of the gold nanoparticles embedded in the core of the germano-silicate fibers. The surface plasmon resonance absorption peak at 498.4nm and the visible to infrared photoluminescence over the range of 600nm~1560nm were found and explained according to the interband and intraband electronic transitions of Au atoms. The averaged quantum efficiencies of the photoluminescence at 833nm and 1536nm were estimated to be 5.75×10-8 and 2.01×10-9, respectively.

Solid-state model for the origin of the two PL bands: The high energy band is proposed to be due to radiative interband recombination between the sp and d-bands while the low energy band is thought to originate from radiative intraband transitions within the sp-band cross the HOMO-LUMO gap. Note that intraband recombination has to involve prior nonradiative recombination of the hole in the d-band created after excitation with an (unexcited) electron in the sp-band.
