Fixed-angle observation of surface plasmon coupled chemiluminescence from palladium thin films

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: In this letter, the fixed-angle observation of surface plasmon coupled chemiluminescence (SPCC) from palladium thin films is reported. Fresnel calculations predict that light 492–549 nm spectral range can efficiently induce surface plasmon modes in 15 nm palladium thin films. Free-space emission from blue, green, and chartreuse chemiluminescent solutions on palladium thin films was isotropic, while the SPCC emission was highly directional and predominantly p-polarized in accordance with the predictions of the Fresnel calculations. In addition, the decay rates of the SPCC and free-space emission were similar, which suggests that palladium thin films have no catalytic effect on chemiluminescence emission.
