Nanocomposites consisting of oxidized porous Si (OPSi) impregnated with rhodamine 110 (Rh110) molecules are characterized in terms of luminescence properties. The photoluminescence and its polarization memory strongly indicates a trace of energy transfer from the fast blue luminescence band of OPSi to the green one of Rh110. Time-resolved experiments showed that energy transfer to Rh110 also takes place from the long-lived blue phosphorescence of OPSi. The transfer channel from nonradiative states of OPSi to Rh110 was also found. The ability of OPSi to harvest and transfer absorbed photon energy to a guest is promising for applications in optoelectronics and biology.
