Abstract

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of metal nanostructures is known to affect the optical properties of solid luminescent materials. Ag nanoparticles were first used to obtain a wider color gamut in rare-earth-doped phosphor-in-glass for application as color filters for white light emitting diodes. The existence of Ag nanocrystallites at nanometer scale and the independent integrity of the phosphor luminescence center in the amorphous glass environment were demonstrated. Using UV–Vis spectroscopy, the localized SPR absorption band was observed at 480 nm, and the optical properties of the nanostructures were found to be dependent on the annealing temperature. Hence, an expansion of the color gamut from 79.07% to 93.31% was realized by the coefficient effect of ${{\rm Nd}^{3 +}}$ active ions and Ag nanoparticles. These results suggest that ${{\rm Nd}^{3 +}}$-ion-co-doped phosphor-in-glass modified by Ag nanoparticles could be potentially applied as a novel optical material with a wide color gamut.
