AI Article Synopsis
- The study demonstrates how an Alq3 organic layer in a plasmonic structure can achieve color-tunable mixed photoluminescence (PL) by combining organic fluorescence and surface plasmon emissions.
- The emission wavelength can be adjusted based on the thickness of the Alq3 layer, allowing a range of colors within its fluorescent spectrum.
- Measurements of CIE coordinates showed that varying the thickness of the Alq3 (90, 130, and 156 nm) resulted in noticeable changes in the emitted colors from the structure.
Article Abstract
This work reports the color-tunable mixed photoluminescence (PL) emission from an Alq3 organic layer in an Au-Alq3-Au plasmonic structure through the combination of organic fluorescence emission and another form of emission that is enabled by the surface plasmons in the plasmonic structure. The emission wavelength of the latter depends on the Alq3 thickness and can be tuned within the Alq3 fluorescent spectra. Therefore, a two-color broadband, color-tunable mixed PL structure was obtained. Obvious changes in the Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates and the corresponding emission colors of Au-Alq3-Au samples clearly varied with the Alq3 thickness (90, 130, and 156 nm).
