Abstract

The field of optical materials has seen significant advancements in recent years due to the demand for improved optical properties. Polymers nanoparticle composites have emerged as promising candidates for optical applications due to their unique characteristics. Polymer-based materials offer advantages such as flexibility, low cost, and ease of processing, while nanoparticles possess unique optical properties. This study explores the integration of neodymium-doped sodium yttrium fluoride nanocrystals (NaYF4) into a commercial photo-polymer for two-photon polymerization (2PP) 3D printing. The resulting compound material. Characterization includes fluorescent lifetime and emission spectrum analysis, along with investigations into visible light scattering due to nanoparticle accumulations. The findings contribute to the understanding of incorporating nanoparticles into 3D printed polymers for optical applications, addressing challenges and advancing the potential for designing resonators with 3D printed gain media.
