Comparison of PMMA layers doped with methyl red and CdSe quantum dots for application in fibre optic

The paper presents a study of the luminescence properties in the visible spectral range of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) doped with organic dye-methyl red and CdSe quantum dots. The emission spectra of polymer-doped composite structures were investigated and compared with pure PMMA. Optical characterisation was carried out, focused on the measurement and analysis of excitation and luminescence spectra. Comparison of the spectroscopic characteristics of the developed materials allowed comparing the effect of doping on the luminescence properties of the obtained materials and considering their potential application as luminescent materials in fibre optic sensors.
