Photoluminescence enhancement induced from silver nanoparticles in Tb3+ doped gl

We experimentally verify that surface plasmon (SP) enhances the photoluminescence (PL) of visible light from Tb3+-doped 60SiO2-20Al2O3-20CaF2:0.3Tb3+, 20Yb3+ glass ceramics by using electron beam lithography to fabricate silver nanoparticles on the surface of the glass ceramics. Numerical calculatio
