We have developed an explicit model to explain the radiative recombination in noble metals, arising from transitions between electrons in the spconduction band and holes in the d-band generated by optical excitation. We find that the observed photon distribution has its shape from two competing factors. The first is due to the optics and the final density of states for the exiting photons. This is off-set by a d-band density of states factor increasing as the number of available d-states increase. We give a satisfactory account of the observed spectrum, using constant matrix elements, and find that luminescence can be used as a complementary tool to the ordinary elastic light scattering, giving detailed information about occupied and unoccupied states, provided the elastic optical constants are measured on the same sample.
