In this paper, the optical properties of PMMA-R6G have been investigated in the presence of silver nanoparticles from the filtering performance point of view. The used silver nanoparticles “inks” (dispersible in organic and inorganic solvents) were prepared by a high stability chemical reduction method. The size and shape of the nanoparticles were determined using the TEM images. The effect of dyes concentration on the transmission power of samples in the presence and absence of silver nanoparticles was evaluated by using a laser with a wavelength of 532 nm and a power of 50 mW. The CCD-S100 spectrometer was used to study the PMMA-R6G-AgNPs film transmission spectrum. The results indicated that this compound could be used as a suitable filter in the visible range, especially at 532 ± 50 nm.
