Avalanche upconversion in Tm:YALO_3 [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Letters, 1991
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 ...

Tuning the upconversion photoluminescence lifetimes of NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ through lanthanide Gd3+ doping

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The multiplexing capacity of conventional fluorescence materials are significantly limited by spectral overlap and background interference, mainly due to their short-lived fluorescence lifetimes.

Upconversion nanoparticles for bioimaging

open access: yesNanotechnology Reviews, 2017
Fluorescent labeling is a widely used indispensable tool in biology. Conventional downconversion fluorescence labels with ultraviolet or short-wavelength excitation suffer from autofluorescence, low signal-to-noise ratio, and incident photo damage to ...

Green-to-Blue Triplet Fusion Upconversion Sensitized by Anisotropic CdSe Nanoplatelets

open access: yes, 2020
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

Photochemical upconversion in water

open access: yesChem. Commun., 2017
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−).
