Rare earth (RE) dopants can modulate the bandgap of oxides of indium and gallium and provide extra upconversion luminescence (UCL) abilities. However, relevant UCL fine-tuning strategies and energy mechanisms have been less studied. In this research, InGaO, Ho3+ monodoped and Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped In2O3, and Ho3+ monodoped Yb3Ga5O12 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The effects of Yb3+ and Ho3+ dopants on the crystal structures, UCL properties, and optical bandgaps of the oxides were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UCL spectroscopy, and measurements of decay times, pump power dependence, and transmittance spectra. The crystal structures of oxide products of indium and gallium were significantly modified with RE dopants. In2O3 and Yb3Ga5O12 were selected as the host materials. For Yb3+/Ho3+ codoped In2O3 NPs, there existed energy transfers from the defect states of In2O3 to Ho3+ and from Yb3+ to Ho3+. With a fixed Ho3+ concentration, In2O3:0%Yb3+,2%Ho3+ NPs showed the optimal UCL properties mainly due to In2O3–Ho3+ energy transfer and Ho3+–Yb3+ energy-back-transfer, while with a fixed Yb3+ concentration, In2O3:5%Yb3+,3%Ho3+ NPs with a slight Yb2O3 impurity and Yb3Ga5O12:2%Ho3+ NPs did mainly due to Ho3+–Ho3+ cross-relaxation. Besides, the optical bandgaps of In2O3 and Yb3Ga5O12 were noticeably broadened with RE dopants. These findings can offer feasible directions for the synthesis and UCL fine-tuning of RE-doped oxides of indium and gallium and improve their multifunction application prospects in the fields of semiconductor and UCL nanomaterials.

A C/Ho co-doped TiO2 catalyst was prepared by the precipitation–calcination method using Ti3C2Tx as the precursor and carbon source. X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and photoelectrochemical measurements were used for characterization. The C doped anatase TiO2 prepared by calcining Ti3C2Tx maintained the two-dimensional lamellar structure of the Ti3C2Tx precursor, and the carbon dopant was present on the surface of TiO2 in the form of C–O and CO, whereas Ho3+ was mainly doped into the lattice of TiO2, forming Ho–O bonds with oxygen instead of Ti4+. The band gap of the C/Ho co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was reduced as compared to that of pristine TiO2, which can improve the utilization efficiency of visible light. When the doping ratio of Ho was 5% (CHT-0.05), the photocatalyst had the highest photocurrent and degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride (86.4%). The reaction mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of TCH by the C/Ho co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was investigated and showed that superoxide radicals (˙O2−) and holes (h+) were the main species that influenced the results. The prepared photocatalyst had good catalytic performance over four cycles, and it was stable and suitable for wastewater treatment.

Self-powered photodetectors have the advantages of high sensitivity, sustainability, and small size and have become a research hotspot in advanced optoelectronic systems. However, the low output photocurrent density seriously hinders the practical application of ferroelectric self-powered photodetectors. Herein, the high-efficiency photoelectric detection performance of the Bi1-xHoxFeO3ferroelectric self-powered photodetector is realized by doping Ho. The responsivity (R) and detectivity (D*) can reach 0.0159 A/W and 1.94 × 1011Jones under monochromatic light with a wavelength of 900 nm. Meanwhile, the R andD*can reach 0.022 A/W and 2.65 × 1011Jones under sunlight. These excellent photodetection performances are attributed to the high short-circuit current density (Jsc). When the Ho content is 6%, the output photocurrent reaches up to 0.81 mA/cm2. The systematic structure and photo-electric characteristic analysis suggest that the decrease in the band gap leads to the generation of a larger photocurrent while the ferroelectric polarization is reduced slightly. This work provides a new way to obtain high-performance self-powered photodetectors.

We reported a multi-watt ~2.1 µm laser output from a 30 cm long Ho3+-doped fluorotellurite microstructured fiber (FTMF) pumped by a homemade 1980 nm Tm3+-doped silica fiber laser. When the pump power was increased to 61.8 mW, lasing at 2067 nm was achieved from the Ho3+-doped FTMT, and an unsaturated maximum output power of ~8.08 W was obtained for a pump power of ~10.56 W. The corresponding slope efficiency was about 77.21%. During our experiments, no obvious damage was observed on the end face of the Ho3+-doped FTMF. Our results indicated that Ho3+-doped fluorotellurite fibers had the potential for constructing high power fiber lasers at 2.1 µm.

We report mode-locking in holmium-doped all-fiber laser based on black phosphorus saturable absorber. The generated solitons are centered at 2094 nm with bandwidth reaching 4.2 nm and pulse duration of 1.3 ps. In harmonic mode-locking, up to 10th harmonic (290 MHz) was obtained. Properties of black phosphorus saturable absorber are investigated. Our findings validate black phosphorus suitability for ultrafast applications in mid-infrared.

Yb,Ho:Y 2 O 3 ceramics have been fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering method (SPS). The microstructure and transmittance of the ceramics sintered from 1623 K to 1673 K were analyzed. The highest in-line transmittance of Yb,Ho:Y 2 O 3 ceramic sintered at 1673 K reached almost 83% at 750 nm with the thickness of 1 mm. The absorption spectra , fluorescence spectra and fluorescence decay curve were recorded at room temperature. The Judd-Ofelt parameters Ω 2 , Ω 4 and Ω 6 were calculated to be 8.33 × 10 −20 cm 2 , 1.81 × 10 −20 cm 2 , and 0.82 × 10 −20 cm 2 , respectively. The intense emission cross section of Yb,Ho:Y 2 O 3 ceramic was 3.43 × 10 −20 cm 2 at 2057 nm with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 208 nm. The results indicate that Yb,Ho:Y 2 O 3 transparent ceramic can be a promising laser gain medium for laser operation around 2 μm.

Porous SnO 2 with high sensitivity and fast response has attracted much attention. Herein, we prepared 3D porous SnO 2 using carbon balls as a template and studied the effects of sintering time (1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h) at a certain calcination temperature of 500℃ and Ho doping on the gas-sensing performance of 3D porous SnO 2 . The gas-sensing test results show that, compared with the samples obtained under other sintering time, the gas-sensing property of 3D porous SnO 2 calcined for 2 h has the highest gas sensitivity of 31 in the 50-ppm formaldehyde environment. Among the samples doped with Ho, 3D porous SnO 2 with a doping amount of 3.5% has the highest sensitivity of 65 at operating temperature of 230℃, which is twice as long as pure 3D porous SnO 2 with a calcination time of 2 h. Moreover, the sample has good selectivity, low detection limit, and good linearity. These excellent gas-sensing characteristics are mainly due to the unique morphology of 3D porous SnO 2 , more oxygen vacancies, and the influence of Ho doping. Therefore, the gas-sensing performance of the metal oxide semiconductor material can be further improved by forming the porous nanocomposite material. Graphical Abstract
(a) Response recovery time of SnO 2 obtained under different calcination times; (b) Response recovery time of SnO 2 doped with different Ho content.
