The emission spectra and fluorescence decay curves of solid UO2+2- Datura at liquid nitrogen temperature have been measured. The linewidth of the emission peaks of UO2+2 ions in UO2+2- Datura decreases with the UO2+2 concentration. This linewidth broadening phenomenon can be explained by the existence of resonance interactions between adjacent UO2+2- Datura species. The analysis of the emission peak position of the bound ions has been used to provide a measure of the electronic factors contributing to the interaction between the uranyl ion and phosphoryl and dicarboxyl moieties on the cell wall material. An observed blue shift of the uranyl fluorescence spectrum as a function of solution pH has been ascribed to a distortion of the normally linear O-U-O bond. An inter- and intra-molecular nonradiative energy transfer model has been successfully used to interpret the measured lifetime data of UO2+2- Datura.

Efficient green and red upconversion emission inY2O3:Yb3+,Er3+nanorods under 978 nm radiation excitation is achieved. Experimental effective lifetimes, luminescent emissions, and nanorod sizes depend strongly on the solvent ratios used during the synthesis. A microscopic nonradiative energy transfer model is used to approach the dynamics of the green, red, and infrared emissions. The excellent agreement between simulated and experimental decay suggests that the energy transfer mechanisms responsible of the visible emission depend on the solvent ratio.

Recent studies of polymers in solution and in bulk by energy transfer between two fluorescent labels are reviewed. Such studies are concerned with the equilibrium and dynamics of polymer chain expansion, molecular cluster formation in solution, the miscibility of polymers in bulk, and the interdiffusion of polymer latex particles.

The scattering phenomena of the fundamental antisymmetric Lamb wave mode with a horizontal notch enabling the partial energy transfer (PET) option is addressed in this paper. The PET functionality for a given waveguide is realized using the material interface. The energy scattering coefficients are identified using two methods, namely, a hybrid approach, which utilizes the finite element method (FEM) and the general orthogonality relation, and the semi-analytical approach, which combines the modal expansion technique with the orthogonal property of Lamb waves. Using the stress and displacement continuity conditions on the present (sub)waveguide interfaces, one can explicitly derive the global scattering matrix, which allows detailed analysis of the scattering process across the considered interfaces. Both methods are then adopted on a simple representation of a surface breaking crack in the form of a vertical notch, of which a certain section enables not only the reflection of the incident energy, but also its nonzero transfer. The presented results show very good conformity between both utilized approaches, thus leading to further development of an alternative technique.

The increasing interest in luminescent waveguides, applied as light concentrators, sensing elements, or decorative illuminating systems, is fostering efforts to further expand their functionality. Yarns and textiles based on a combination of distinct melt-spun polymer optical fibers (POFs), doped with individual luminescent dyes, can be beneficial for such applications since they enable easy tuning of the color of emitted light. Based on the energy transfer occurring between differently dyed filaments within a yarn or textile, the collective emission properties of such assemblies are adjustable over a wide range. The presented study demonstrates this effect using multicolor, meltspun, and photoluminescent POFs to measure their superimposed photoluminescent emission spectra. By varying the concentration of luminophores in yarn and fabric composition, the overall color of the resulting photoluminescent textiles can be tailored by the recapturing of light escaping from individual POFs. The ensuing color space is a mean to address the needs of specific applications, such as decorative elements and textile illumination by UV down-conversion.

Looking for upconverting biocompatible nanoparticles, we have prepared by the sol–gel method, silica–calcia glass nanopowders doped with different concentration of Tm3+ and Yb3+ ions (Tm3+ from 0.15 mol% up to 0.5 mol% and Yb3+ from 1 mol% up to 4 mol%) and characterized their structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated an amorphous phase of the silica-based glass with partial crystallization of samples with a higher content of lanthanides ions. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the average size of particles decreased with increasing lanthanides content. The upconversion (UC) emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes were registered under near infrared excitation (980 nm) at room temperature to study the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Tm3+ at various active ions concentrations. Characteristic emission bands of Tm3+ ions in the range of 350 nm to 850 nm were observed. To understand the mechanism of Yb3+–Tm3+ UC energy transfer in the SiO2–CaO powders, the kinetics of luminescence decays were studied.

We fabricated InGaN/GaN nanorod light emitting diode (LED) on (-201) β-Ga2O3 substrate via the SiO2 nanosphere lithography and dry-etching techniques. The InGaN/GaN nanorod LED grown on β-Ga2O3 can effectively suppress quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) compared to planar LED on account of the strain relaxation. With the enhancement of excitation power density, the photoluminescence (PL) peak shows a large blue-shift for the planar LED, while for the nanorod LED, the peak position shift is small. Furthermore, the simulations also show that the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of the nanorod LED is approximately seven times as high as that of the planar LED. Obviously, the InGaN/GaN/β-Ga2O3 nanorod LED is conducive to improving the optical performance relative to planar LED, and the present work may lay the groundwork for future development of the GaN-based vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs) on β-Ga2O3 substrate.
