Abstract

Strong enhancements in the spontaneous emission intensity of dye chromophores-loaded in a printable polymer have been achieved by coupling the dye emission to surface plasmons of metallic thin films and metallic nanoparticles. The nanocomposite materials embossed by nanoimprint lithography process show good imprint properties.
