Abstract:To further reduce the lasing threshold of organic semiconductor materials, the surface plasmon resonance effect of silver nanoparticles was investigated. The prepared silver nanoparticle solution was spincoated on glass substrate, and then PS:Alq3:DCJTB organic thin film was spincoated on the surface of Ag nanoparticles, and thus formed a planar waveguide. Pumped by YAG (λ=355nm) laser, the stimulated emission results show that compared with the case without Ag nanoparticles, the Agnanoparticleenhanced edge stimulated emission increases 10.38fold and its lasing threshold reduces to 0.5 mJ/cm2 from 2.0 mJ/cm2. The vertical surface stimulated emission increases 6.13fold and its lasing threshold reduces to about 1.5 mJ/cm2 from 2.5 mJ/cm2. This work may be of great significance in the realization of lowthreshold organic semiconductor lasers.
