文摘The clusters of Eu^3+ ion in Eu(DBM)3Phen-doped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) have been studied by three means. The relative fluorescence intensity ratio of the ^5D0 → ^7F2 to ^5D0 → ^7F1 transitions with different concentrations of Eu^3+ in Eu(DBM)3Phen-doped PMMA and metastable-state (^5D0) lifetime dependence on Eu^3+ concentration axe analyzed. The analysis indicates that there axe no clustering effects in Eu^3+ ions of Eu(DBM)3Phen-doped PMMA when the Eu^3+ doping concentration is up to 1.0 wt.-%. At the same time, the clustering effect has not been observed by the scanning neax-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in Eu(DBM)3Phen-doped PMMA with 1.0 wt.-% of Eu^3+ ions. The analysis reveals that a high concentration of Eu^3+ can be incorporated into polymer optical fiber (POF) without clustering effect.
