Phonon-assisted up-conversion photoluminescence of quantum dots

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Up-conversion photoluminescence in colloidal quantum dots is generally believed to be mediated by thermal activation from defect states. Here, the authors reveal that highly-efficient up-conversion photoluminescence instead is related to electron-phonon ...

Upconversion Visible Light Emission in Yb/Pr Co-Doped Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Single Crystals

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
As a development on previous research on single crystals of Pr3+-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), we report here the preparation and optical properties of Yb/Pr co-doped YSZ single crystals with different Yb2O3 concentrations.

Enhancing upconversion photoluminescence by plasmonic-photonic hybrid mode

open access: yesOptics Express, 2020
Upconversion photoluminescence (UCPL) of rare-earth ions has attracted much attention due to its potential application in cell labeling, anti-fake printing, display, solar cell and so forth. In spite of high internal quantum yield, they suffer from very low external quantum yield due to poor absorption cross-section of rare-earth ions.

Growth, processing, and optical properties of epitaxial Er_2O_3 on silicon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Erbium-doped materials have been investigated for generating and amplifying light in low-power chip-scale optical networks on silicon, but several effects limit their performance in dense microphotonic applications.

Unveiling room temperature upconversion photoluminescence in monolayer WSe2

open access: yesOptics Express, 2022
Upconversion photoluminescence (UPL) is a phenomenon describing an anti-Stokes process where the emitted photons have higher energy than the absorbed incident photons. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with strong photon-exciton interactions represent a fascinating platform for studying the anti-Stokes UPL process down to the monolayer thickness

Unconventional photoluminescence upconversion from PbS quantum dots [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics Letters, 2007
The authors report a type of photoluminescence upconversion that is directly attributable to the strong quantum confinement of charge carriers in PbS nanocrystals and does not involve the usual mechanism of thermally populated intermediate states. Absorption, emission, and excitation spectroscopy, combined with a simple spectral model, reveals that the

Photonic crystal-driven spectral concentration for upconversion photovoltaics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceThe main challenge for applying upconversion (UC) to silicon photovoltaics is the limited amount of solar energy harvested directly via erbium-based upconverter materials (24.5 W m(-2)).
