Polymer Microfibers Incorporated with Silver Nanoparticles: a New Platform for Optical Sensing

Abstract The enhanced sensitivity of up-conversion luminescence is imperative for the application of up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). In this study, microfibers were fabricated after co-doping UCNPs with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and silver (Ag) solutions. Transmission losses and sensitiviti...
