Continuous-wave upconversion lasing with a sub-10 W cm−2 threshold enabled by atomic disorder in the host matrix

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Upconversion microlasers present a lot of advantages but also require high pumping powers. Here the authors present a high-performing microlaser based on anti-Stokes-shift in upconversion nanoparticles synthesized using a technique of liquid quenching.

Analytical model for the intensity dependence of 1500 nm to 980 nm upconversion in Er$^{3+}$: a new tool for material characterization

open access: yes, 2018
We propose a simplified rate-equation model for the 1500 nm to 980 nm upconversion in Er$^{3+}$. The simplifications, based on typical experimental conditions as well as on conclusions based on previously published more advanced models, enable an ...
