Abstract:

Light-converting polyethylene film containing europium(III) complex with phenanthroline was manufactured under an extrusion process. The film was characterized first by means of time-of-flight secondary-ion-mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), ultraviolet-visible-infrared (UV-vis-IR) spectroscopy, then a study of excitation and luminescence spectra, quantum yield and lifetime of luminescence. The quantum yield of luminescence was measured as 5±2%, and the lifetime of luminescence was determined about 470 μsec. TOF-SIMS surface mapping showed the uniform distribution of europium(III) over the film. Visualization of strong picosecond UV laser beams through the use of the developed film has been demonstrated.
