Enhanced 1.8 μm emission from Tm 3+ by Yb 3+ sensitization and bubbling in tungsten tellurite glasses has been demonstrated under the excitation of a 976 nm laser diode . Radiative properties such as spontaneous emission probabilities, radiative lifetimes and fluorescence branching ratios along with absorption and emission cross sections have been calculated from the absorption spectra . The influences of Yb 3+ concentration, Tm 3+ concentration, and bubbling time on spectroscopic properties have been thoroughly investigated. It is found that with increasing the bubbling time to 35 min, OH − content deceases sharply while 1.8 μm emission intensity improves greatly and 3 F 4 level lifetime prolongs to 1.57 ms close to radiative time. After 35 min, they change very little due to almost reaching the dynamic balance. The strength of interaction between Tm 3+ and OH − is determined. The energy transfer mechanism between Yb 3+ and Tm 3+ is proposed by photoemission spectroscopy and lifetime measurement. The energy transfer coefficients have been analyzed by the extended spectral overlap method and hopping model. Large ratio of the forward energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ to the backward one (223) and high energy transfer efficiency (97%) from Yb 3+ to Tm 3+ ensure efficient 1.8 μm emission. Hence, Yb 3+ sensitization and the reduction of OH − content could be expected to open up a possibility to achieve high efficient 2.0 μm lasing from Tm 3+ under a 976 nm LD pump.

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphors have received increasing attention for designing novel solid-state light sources with broadband NIR output. In this work, a novel NIR phosphor LiScP2O7:Cr3+ (LSP:Cr3+) is developed with the emissions (750–1100 nm) completely in the NIR spectral range. Under 470 nm excitation, LSP:0.06Cr3+ shows broadband NIR emissions peaking at ∼880 nm, with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ∼170 nm and an internal quantum yield (IQY) of ∼38%. Moreover, photoluminescence (PL) improvements of LSP:Cr3+ phosphors are achieved by Yb3+ codoping, leading to the broadened FWHM (up to ∼210 nm), increased IQY (ηmax = ∼74%), and reduced thermal quenching. The energy transformation processes in LSP:Cr3+,Yb3+ are quantitatively analyzed on the basis of PL lifetime and QY measurements, revealing that the PL improvements by Yb3+ codoping principally originate from the energy transfer from Cr3+ to more efficient and thermally stable Yb3+ emitters. Finally, NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) are fabricated by combining LSP:Cr3+,Yb3+ phosphors with blue LED chips, giving a maximum NIR output power of ∼36 mW and photoelectric efficiency of ∼12% at 100 mA drive current. The results suggest that the investigated phosphors would be promising luminescent converters for broadband NIR pc-LED applications.

Fundamental understanding of the Stokes and anti-Stokes emissions in luminescence materials and their mechanism is very important for different technological applications. In this article, we report the dual mode, down/upconversion (DC/UC), luminescence in a LiAlSi 2 O 6 (β-spodumene) single host along with its mechanistic investigations. A series of emission tunable Li 1- x AlSi 2 O 6 : x Er 3+ (LAS: x Er 3+ ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.07) and Li 0.99- y AlSi 2 O 6 :0.01Er 3+ , y Yb 3+ (LAS:0.01Er 3+ ,yYb 3+ ; 0.001 ≤ y ≤ 0.007) phosphor powders were prepared by solid state reaction method at 1300 °C. The formation of single-phase phosphors is verified by XRD technique and other structural properties are investigated by FT-IR, UV-Vis-NIR spectra. The phosphors produced NIR DC emission at 1535 nm (under 380 and 980 nm excitation) and an intense red UC emission at 655 nm (under both 980 and 808 nm excitations). The dual mode emission intensity of the LAS:0.01Er 3+ is further improved by co-doping Yb 3+ ions via energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Er 3+ . The red UC emission intensity of LAS:0.01Er 3+ ,0.005Yb 3+ phosphor under 980 nm excitation is ~10 times stronger than the singly doped LAS:0.01Er 3+ phosphor. In addition, the phosphors can also be efficiently excited by 808 nm laser and hence can be used for biological application since 808 nm NIR irradiation exhibits higher light penetration depth without inducing overheating. The mechanism of energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Er 3+ by considering different emission pathways viz: ground state absorption (GSA), excited state absorption (ESA), energy transfer upconversion (ETU), back energy transfer (BET) and cross relaxation (CR) are discussed in detail. Based on the dual mode emissions, the LAS: x Er 3+ and LAS: x Er 3+ , y Yb 3+ ( x = 0.1 and 0.001 ≤ y ≤ 0.007) phosphors could be a potential candidate not only for the biological application as bio-probe but also as energy convertors for solid-state lighting, displays, and solar cell applications.

The advance of portable and smart near-infrared (NIR) light sources has sparked significant interest. However, achieving high-performance NIR emission at longer wavelengths remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we prepared broadband NIR phosphors by codoping pyrochlore oxide Y 2 GaSbO 7 (YGSO) with Cr 3+ and Yb 3+ ions using a conventional high-temperature solid-state reaction. Upon excitation by blue light, YGSO: 0.03Cr 3+ exhibited a broadband NIR emission centered at 765 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 160 nm. The purposeful incorporation of Yb 3+ ions facilitated efficient energy transfer from Cr 3+ to Yb 3+ , resulting in a newly observed NIR emission peak at 970 nm. Notably, the addition of Yb 3+ improved the overall thermal quenching resistance owing to its inherent thermal stability. Furthermore, we encapsulated the as-obtained phosphors with commercial blue LED chips to create prototype phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs). The Cr 3+ and Cr 3+ -Yb 3+ codoped pc-LEDs achieved output powers of 120 mW@660 mA with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 12.66%@30 mA, and 131.7 mW@1020 mA with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 13.93%@30 mA, respectively. These broadband NIR pc-LEDs hold promise for optical imaging applications.

Melanoma is the most lethal dermal tumor, and a high recurrence rate and skin defects are two main serious problems. An antimelanoma material,which effectively inhibits tumor recurrence and possesses excellent biocompatibility, is urgently needed to treat melanoma. In this study, we developed a novel antitumor Yb 3+ [Yb(NO 3 ) 3 ]containing chitosan hydrogel (Yb-CS hydrogel) by dissolving Yb(NO 3 ) 3 and chitosan in acetic acid solution and forming composite hydrogels by a freeze-drying process after adding NaOH to the mixed solution. In vitro studies demonstrated that the Yb 3+ produces effect of inducing cell death in Yb-CS hydrogel. Moreover, we found that the Yb-CS hydrogel inhibited a focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-dependent signaling pathway and induced B-16 cell anoikis. However, the Yb-CS hydrogel was less effective on L929 normal mouse dermal cells. In vivo studies showed that the Yb-CS hydrogel inhibited the recurrence of melanoma in a mouse bare xenograft tumor model. We concluded that the Yb-CS hydrogel could potentially be used in the antimelanoma field, especially in the inhibition of melanoma recurrence.

Enabling the drug delivery systems with drug release monitoring function is of essential importance to enhance therapeutic effectiveness. Herein, we took a ship-in-a-bottle synthesis strategy to construct the upconversion nanocrystal and zeolite compounded drug delivery system with real-time monitoring function, by using desilicated ZSM-5 zeolite as drug carrier and NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ nanocrystal as luminescent probe. Benefiting from the enlarged mesoporous in desilicated ZSM-5, the NaYF 4 : Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ nanocrystals can be successfully loaded inside and the upconversion emission intensity of Tm 3+ under 980 nm excitation was one order of magnitude enhanced after mild heat treatment. The drug release monitoring function were studied by using doxorubicin as model drug, the experimental results indicated that the upconversion emission intensity ratio of I 802nm /I 475nm can accurately evaluate drug release percentage. Further in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation suggested the doxorubicin-loaded [email protected] /DS/HT has excellent biocompatibility and is able to inhibit tumor cells effectively.

Inhomogeneous broadening in disordered crystals has been widely recognized as a successful approach to enhance the spectral bandwidth of rare earth ions in optical spectra, and the Yb3+-doped mixed laser crystals are known as ultrafast pulse materials and have emerged as a hotspot recently. In this study, mixed sodium gadolinium/lanthanum double molybdate disordered laser crystals NaGd(1–x)La(x)(MoO4)2 with x = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.9 were grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. The structure of as-grown crystals was investigated by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and Raman experiments. The spectroscopic properties, including absorption, emission, and fluorescence decay characteristics, were investigated thoroughly. The NaGd0.5La0.5(MoO4)2 (NGLM) composite crystal exhibited an exceptionally broad absorption which reaches 70 nm (fwhm) at 980 nm, exceeding those of NaGd(MoO4)2 (NGM) and NaLa(MoO4)2 (NLM). Additionally, the electronic structures (band structure and density of states) of NGM, NGLM, and NLM were determined from the first-principles method combined with the PBE function. The calculations of defect formation energies under O-poor and O-rich conditions demonstrate that the +2 defects are easily generated in the undoped NGM crystal prepared under reducing atmospheres, and the calculation of absorption properties reveals that the black color of NGM without annealing is mainly attributed to intraband transitions between defect induction states and VBM or CBM. Moreover, the lifetimes of excited energy level 2F5/2 of Yb3+ were examined under different experimental environments to obtain the intrinsic radiative lifetime, and the emission cross section was calculated as 2.25 × 10–20 cm2 at 1016 nm. The features of the Yb3+:NaGd(1–x)La(x)(MoO4)2 crystal indicate the potential applications for ultrafast and broad tunable laser through slight regulation of the composite engineering strategy.

Combining the multi-modal medical imaging with cancer therapy in one single system has attracted the great interests for theranostic purpose. In this paper, CaF 2 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ /Mn 2+ -poly(2-Aminoethyl methacrylate) (UCHNs-PAMA) hybrid microspheres were successfully fabricated. The synthetic route to the nanocomposite based on a facile hydrothermal method for fabrication of hollow upconversion (UC) nanospheres at first and then post-filling the PAMA interiorly through photo-initiated polymerization. The UCHNs showed orange fluorescence under 980 nm near infrared (NIR) laser excitation , which provided the upconverting luminescence (UCL) imaging modality . Meanwhile, the presence of functional Mn 2+ and Yb 3+ offered the enhanced T 1 -weighted magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, respectively. Thanks to introducing amine groups-containing PAMA inside the hollow nanospheres, the Pt(IV) pro-drug, c,c,t-Pt(NH 3 ) 2 Cl 2 (OOCCH 2 CH 2 COOH) 2 (DSP), can be conveniently bonded on the polymer network to construct a nanoscale anti-cancer drug carrier. The UCHNs-PAMA-Pt(IV) nanocomposite shows effective inhibition for Hela cell line via MTT assay . In contrast, Pt(IV) pro-drug and UCHNs-PAMA microspheres behave little cytotoxicity to Hela cells. This should be attributed the fact that the anti-cancer ability can be recovered only when Pt(IV) pro-drug was reduced to Pt(II)-drug in cellular environment. Furthermore, the in vivo experiments on small mice also confirm that the hybrid microspheres have relatively low toxic side effects and high tumor inhibition rate. These findings show that the multifunctional hybrid microspheres have potential to be used as UCL/MR/CT tri-modal imaging contrast agent and anti-cancer drug carriers.

Realization and optimization of enhanced/tunable optical luminescence properties is highly demanded for reliable and accurate temperature sensing. In this work, uniform monodisperse spherical Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped Y 2 O 3 microcrystals of four different sizes have been synthesized via homogeneous precipitation by changing the reaction time, and the tuning of luminescence intensity/color was achieved by the controllable particles size. On this basis, by studying the particle size dependence of temperature sensing performance, we found that the behavior of absolute sensitivity ( S a ) and relative sensitivity ( S r ) have highly size dependence. Interestingly, when different FIR strategies were used (thermally coupled levels (TCLs) and nonthermally coupled levels (non-TCLs)), the sensitivity exhibits the opposite behavior. Importantly, when using the non-TCLs strategy, the maximum S a value for the smallest phosphors was 1.084 K -1 , leading to ∼246 times improvement compared to TCLs-based S a . The ultrahigh S a indicated that the Er 3+ /Yb 3+ co-doped Y 2 O 3 phosphors have potential in temperature detection, and the results are of guiding significance to studying the sensitivity of Y 2 O 3 particle size-dependent temperature measurement.

Taking advantage of the unique optical properties of upconversion nanoparticles (NP) and the feasibly modified nature of SiO2, NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+@SiO2 core@shell (UCNP@SiO2) NPs with excellent morphology have been synthesized to investigate the surface charge effect on the interactions of NPs with cells. The cellular uptake behaviors, cytotoxicities and intracellular metal ion release of the as-prepared NPs have been investigated in two cell lines (HeLa and HepG-2) by fluorescence microscopy, MTT assay and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. It is found that the UCNP@SiO2 NPs with positive surface charge have much higher cell internalization ability and cytotoxicity than those with negative surface charge. The experimental results also demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of UCNP@SiO2 NP is closely related to the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and metal ion release of internalized NPs.

Fluoro-sulfo-phosphate (FPS) glass is of current interest as potential material for laser application due to its good glass-forming ability, thermal, and chemical stability as well as the complicated local environment for incorporated species. Herein, the physical and luminescent properties of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ /Er 3+ -doped FPS glasses vs S/F ratio are investigated comprehensively. The low melting temperature (750°C) leads to fewer ingredients evaporation and easier operation. The sulfate addition depolymerizes the structure of FPS glasses, leading to either monotonic or nonmonotonic variations of physical properties, while no deterioration in thermal and limited one in chemical stability is caused. The addition of sulfate also modifies the local structure around optical active species and thus, leading to higher emission cross section (1.52 × 10 −20 cm 2 ), effective linewidth (68.4 nm), figure of merit (5.61 × 10 −23 s cm 2 ), gain bandwidth (102.44 × 10 −27 cm 3 ), and energy-transfer microparameters (51.87 × 10 −39 cm 6 /s), implying high possibility to serve as 1.5 μm laser application.

Bilayer thermosensitive P(NIPAm-co-AAm) hydrogel discs were prepared by a facile UV light initiation process from N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) and acrylamide (AAm) monomers’ cross-linking copolymerization. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a pore-forming agent was added in order to form a porous structure and improve the water content in the hydrogel. Functional materials of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated into different layers of the P(NIPAm-co-AAm) hydrogel for the purpose of up-conversion luminescence labeling and the NIR light antenna effect, respectively. Significantly improved drug release from composite hydrogels was achieved in response to 980 nm NIR light irradiation by using lysozyme as a macromolecular drug. The multifunctional hydrogel reported here provides a platform for simultaneous NIR luminescence labeling and NIR-driven drug release.
