Optical properties of planar polymer waveguides doped with organo-lanthanide complexes
TL;DR: In this article, a planar waveguide based on a UV-processable polymer material was fabricated and its spectroscopic properties investigated in detail, and the performance of lanthanide doped materials for waveguide-based optical ampli-cation was evaluated.

Electrodeposition of luminescent composite metal coatings containing rare-earth phosphor particles
Murugan Ganapathi,Svetlana V. Eliseeva,Neil R. Brooks,Dimitri Soccol,Jan Fransaer,Koen Binnemans +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of acetamide and dimethylsulfone (DMSO2) with dissolved anhydrous transition metal chlorides is introduced as new nonaqueous electrolytes for the preparation of composite metal coatings with embedded hydrophilic particles via an electrolytic co-deposition process.
