title: Surface-plasmon induced polarized emission from Eu(III)--a class of luminescent lanthanide ions.
abstract: The intrinsically unpolarized emission from luminescent Eu(III) ions is transformed to wavelength-resolved and sharply directional polarized emission by coupling with plasmonic and photonic modes present in metal-dielectric layered substrates. This nanoscale control over lanthanide luminescence can facilitate the design of novel emissive structures with potential technological applications.
