Avalanche upconversion in Tm:YALO_3 [PDF]
We report the sudden appearance of upconversion fluorescence and resonant increasing absorption above a threshold intensity in Tm YALO3 at room temperature. These effects are shown to arise from nonlinear, cooperative, excited-state dynamics. Comparison with quantum theory reveals essential roles both for pairwise cross relaxation and excitation ...

Green-to-Blue Triplet Fusion Upconversion Sensitized by Anisotropic CdSe Nanoplatelets
Green-to-blue photon upconversion bears great potential in photocatalytic applications. However, current hybrid inorganic-organic upconversion schemes utilizing spherical CdSe nanocrystals are often limited by energetic polydispersity, low quantum yields

Ultra-stable near-infrared Tm3+-doped upconversion nanoparticles for in vivo wide-field two-photon angiography with a low excitation intensity [PDF]
Two-photon luminescence with near-infrared (NIR) excitation of upconversion nanoparticles (NPs) is of great importance in biological imaging due to deep penetration in high-scattering tissues, low auto-luminescence and good sectioning ability ...

Photochemical upconversion in water
The current investigation achieves photochemical upconversion in pure water using combinations of water soluble Ru(ii) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) sensitizers in concert with 9-anthracenecarboxylate (AnCO2−) and 1-pyrenecarboxylate (PyCO2−).
