Abstract

We have investigated the luminescence, luminescence excitation, and transmittance of europium- and terbium-doped xerogel films formed on smooth, nanotextured surfaces and in the pores of anodic aluminum oxide. Some factors responsible for enhancement of luminescence in the structure lanthanide-doped xerogel/mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide have been analyzed. It is assumed that the optical excitation of lanthanide ions can be realized directly, through a xerogel matrix, and due to the multiple scattering of exciting radiation by the matrix of mesoporous anodic aluminum oxide.
