Impact of energy-transfer-upconversion on performance in quasi-three-level solid-state lasers [PDF]
Energy-transfer-upconversion (ETU) has a detrimental impact on performance in a number of different solid-state lasers [1]. ETU manifests itself as a reduction in the effective upper laser level lifetime leading reduced energy storage and increased ...

Recharging Upconversion: Revealing Rubrene’s Replacement [PDF]
One of the major limitations of solid-state perovskite-sensitized photon upconversion to date is that the only annihilator successfully paired with the perovskite sensitizer has been rubrene, raising the question of whether this approach of triplet ...

Upconversion Spectrophotofluorometry [PDF]
As the other chapters attest, sensitivity of fluorescent molecules to their local environment has created powerful tools in the study of molecular biology, particularly in the study of protein, DNA, and lipid dynamics. Surprisingly, even events faster than the nanosecond lifetimes of fluorophores are important in protein function, and in particular ...
