Abstract
Effect of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) on photoluminescence (PL) attributes of trivalent neodymium ions bearing glass specimens has been examined and described the outcomes in detail. The presence and distribution of Ag NPs were confirmed using transmission electron microscopic measurement. The luminescence enhancement factor (LEF) for the 1055 nm PL emission peak was boosted from 1.33 to 2.53 when the AgNO3 content elevated from 0.2 to 0.6 mol % and subsequently for 0.8 mol% of AgNO3 the LEF was decreased to 2.38. The stimulated emission cross–section, quantum efficiency, and emission bandwidth magnitudes of PL emission transition of Nd3+ ions located at 1055 nm were increased with elevated inclusion of Ag NPs up to 0.6 mol %. The outcomes instantiate that the inclusion of Ag NPs to the optimized glass composition by 0.6 mol% making it as a beneficial host for optical amplifier and laser functionalities.
