Abstract

Enhanced photoluminescence was found in tris-8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum deposited onto nanotextured silver films with porous alumina substrates. The surface-enhanced Raman signals and shortened lifetimes suggested the presence of enhanced local electromagnetic field due to the plasmon resonance of nanotextured silver films. The photoluminescence enhancement was attributed to the increase in absorption and quantum yield. The authors analyzed the increase in quantum yield and found that the highest quantum yield was enhanced by 2.3 times compared with the samples based on flat Ag film with the same thickness. The enhancement of quantum yield has potential applications in electro-optic devices.
