Abstract
Laser dye Rhodamine 6G incorporated into Zirconia-Glymo (Glymo-3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) glasses obtained by sol-gel method shows increased luminescence in presence of silver nanoparticles (NPs). The mechanism of the increase was studied by continuous and dynamical fluorescence. The intensity enhancement of fluorescence by 225% was obtained in glasses co-doped with silver NPs. The experimental results allow concluding that the increase of fluorescence is mainly due to the interaction of the dye molecules with the scattering of silver plasmons.
