Turn Broad Into Narrow: Understanding the Pr3+ → Gd3+ Energy Transfer in Cs2NaYCl6

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 22, 12 June 2026.
The energy transfer processes of Pr3+ in elpasolite‐like Cs2NaY1‐xGdxCl6: 1mol%$1 \,\mathrm{mol}\%$ Pr3+ is investigated by steady‐state and time‐resolved spectroscopy. An analysis of the multiexponential decays in the framework of the shell model of energy transfer suggests an occupation of both the Y and Na sites by Pr3+ in this host.

Infrared upconversion for astronomy

open access: yes, 1977
The basic theory of upconversion is presented, along with a brief historical summary of upconversion techniques. Upconverters were used in astronomical studies, but have met with only modest success. Upconversion will become a useful detection method for

Visualization of Endosomal Escape of Intracellularly Delivered Protein With Unexpected Photochemical Internalization of Trypan Blue

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
TB, a conventional cell viability dye, acts as both a fluorescence modulator (quenching GFP fluorescence upon protein binding and recovering it upon release) and a photosensitizer that triggers endosomal escape via photochemical internalization (PCI) under 590 nm light.

Light‐Controlled Peptide Self‐Assembly: From Physicochemical Principles to Emerging Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review surveys recent advances in light‐controlled peptide self‐assembly for the design of smart soft matter. It summarizes the underlying physicochemical principles, including thermodynamic control for reshaping free‐energy landscapes, and nonequilibrium control to produce kinetically trapped states and dissipative structures.

UV TO RED UPCONVERSION EMISSION FROM ERBIUM YTTERBIUM CODOPED BARIUM ZIRCONATE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
"Visible upconversion emission of Er3+ in nanocrystalline BaZrO3 (BZO) powder is obtained under IR excitation in the range between 900 to 1050 nm. In single Er3+ doped BaZrO3 the blue emission was neglected and when Yb3+ is added then it acts as a ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.
