摘要
Arrays of subwavelength holes (nanoholes) in Au films were,computationally designed, fabricated, and used as templates to localize and enhance the luminescence of upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs)-hexagonal phase NaYF4 doped with Yb3+ and Er3+. The dimensions of nanohole Au arrays were designed to accept only a single UCNP upon particle filling and with a periodicity to be resonant with the excitation wavelength of the upconversion: Frequency-dependent luminescence enhancements of up to 35-fold and a concomitant shortening of the UCNP luminescence rise time were observed, consistent with simulations of plasmonic enhancement of the UCNP absorption.
