Abstract

We first time prepared Nd3+ ions doped anodic aluminum oxide (Nd:AAO) templates, reported linear, sublinear and superlinear photoluminescence (PL) from Nd:AAO templates loaded with Ag nanowires in different excitation power regions, in which, the excitation laser with wavelength 805 nm resonantly pumped the population to 4F5/2 states of Nd3+, and the radiative transitions 4F3/2 → 4I9/2 of Nd3+ centered at 880 nm. The excitation power dependences of emission polarization ratio and the spectral width were also investigated. The observed nonlinear amplifications of the PL intensity implied strong interaction between randomly-dispersed Nd3+ ions and ordered-arrayed Ag nanowires in AAO templates.

(b) PL spectra of Nd:AAO template and Ag/Nd:AAO sample with excitation wavelength λ exc=805 nm (P exc=5 mW). The PL peak around 870~880 nm is attributed to the radiative transitions 4F5/2→4I3/2 of Nd3+. (c) PL excitation (PLE) spectrum of Ag/Nd:AAO recorded at the emission wavelength λ emi=900 nm (P exc=60 mW). Two peaks around 750 and 805 nm in PLE are corresponding to the metastates 4F7/2 and 4F5/2 of Nd3+.

Fig. 3. Excitation power dependence of PL. (a) PL spectra from Ag/Nd:AAO with P exc=60, 80 and 100 mW. As P exc increases from 80 to 100 mW, the peak intensity increases ~50% while the spectral width decreases ~12%. (b) Peak PL intensity (leakage SPs) at λ emi=872 nm as a function of excitation power. The SPs in Ag nanocavity arrays are linearly (ν 1=0.92), sublinearly (ν 2=0.52), stimulated (ν 3=3.4) and avalanched (ν 4=8.1) amplified in the region I, II, III and IV. The threshold power for the region II, III and IV are P C2=33 mW, P C3=84 mW and P C4=115 mW, respectively.
