Bi 2 O 3 phosphors co-doped with Yb 3+ and Er 3+ ions were successfully synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. Under 980 nm near-infrared laser excitation, Bi 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ phosphors emit strong red light at 658 nm and weak green light at 551 nm. The optimal doping concentrations of Yb 3+ and Er 3+ are 0.10 and 0.02, respectively. This composition results in a red-to-green intensity ratio of 157.6. The red emission is primarily driven by energy transfer, promoting Er 3+ from the 4 I 13/2 level to the 4 F 9/2 level [Yb 3+ ( 2 F 5/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 I 13/2 ) → Yb 3+ ( 2 F 7/2 ) + Er 3+ ( 4 F 9/2 )]. The cross-relaxation process lowers the photon population in the 4 F 7/2 level and raises the photon population in the 4 F 9/2 level, leading to the occurrence of a single-band red emission. This phosphor also demonstrates promising potential for optical temperature sensing. It exhibits a maximum relative sensitivity of 3.02 % K −1 at 298 K.

Cubic and hexagonal structured SrTa4O11(STO):Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors were synthesized by a solid state reaction (SSR) and molten salt synthesis (MSS). The upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity of these samples was investigated. Hexagonal STO:Er3+/Yb3+ with much or a little β-Ta2O5 can be synthesized by SSR in air or vacuum, respectively, and the UCL intensity of the sample synthesized by SSR in a vacuum is higher. Cubic STO:Er3+/Yb3+ can be synthesized by MSS with KCl flux, and hexagonal STO:Er3+/Yb3+ can be synthesized by MSS with B2O3 flux, which has the strongest UCL intensity among all the samples compared with samples prepared by SSR. The sample by MSS with B2O3 flux was acid pickled (AP) with HCl solution, and the green UCL intensity increased by 2.18 times, which reached 32.95% for β-NaYF4:Er3+/Yb3+. The UCL intensity of the hexagonal STO:Er3+/Yb3+ is much higher than that of the cubic structure, which is due to the layered structure and the non-central symmetry of the Er3+/Yb3+ doped sites in hexagonal STO:Er3+/Yb3+. The temperature sensitivity of samples is evaluated by luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technology. The maximum relative sensitivity is 0.0099 K−1 at 303 K. All the results show that hexagonal STO:Er3+/Yb3+ has excellent pure green UCL intensity and high temperature sensitivity, which can be used in UCL display and temperature sensing.

High-sensitivity optical temperature measurement has attracted extensive attention in both fundamental studies and practical applications. In this study, a series of upconversion (UC) luminescence phosphors composed of NaGd(PO 3 ) 4 (NGP) doped with 20 at% Yb 3+ and various concentrations of Er 3+ (0.5 at% as the optimal concentration) was synthesized by high-temperature solid-state method. And their crystal structure and the distribution of lanthanide dopants were analyzed using X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement verifies. Under 980 nm laser excitation, the obtained phosphors show the characteristic Er 3+ upconversion green and red emission bands through two-photon processes. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) based on the thermal coupled states demonstrates the thermal sensing ability in a wide temperature range of 200–573 K. The thermal sensitivity is relatively high with the maximum absolute thermal sensitivity S a of 0.53 % K −1 (523 K) and the maximum relative thermal sensitivity S r of 2.60 % K −1 . The phosphor NGP:Yb/Er also exhibits high repeatability as the thermal sensors reach 97 %. These findings postulate the potential of NGP:Yb/Er as a promising candidate in optical thermal sensing applications.

The cubic phase KY3F10:15%Yb3+,1%Ho3+ up-converting nanocrystals are prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. Under 980 nm excitation, strong green and red emissions are produced at the same time. According to a set of steady state rate equations and the power dependence of up-conversion luminescence, it is confirmed that two-step energy transfer from Yb3+ to Ho3+dominates the population of green emission level, while the multi-phonon decay of 5S2/5F4 to 5F5 and promotion from 5I7 to 5F5 are responsible for the red emission. Long-term laser irradiation leads to significant thermal effects. Based on the ratiometric luminescence temperature sensing behavior, the light to heat conversion ability is evaluated. This multi-functional nanocrystal is potentially applicable as the nano-heater for photo-thermal therapy of tumors.

Single-band red upconversion (UC) emission of Er3+ has been successfully achieved in Yb3+/Er3+ codoped KMgF3 nanocrystals via a nonequivalent substitution strategy, in which lanthanide ions probably aggregate, as evidenced by density functional theory calculations and upconversion dynamic processes. The aggregation of Yb3+/Er3+ would cause large cross-relaxation probabilities among the lanthanide ions when photo-excited, resulting in the disappearance of the green emission and the population of the red emitting level of Er3+. Interestingly, the single-band feature is independent of the dopant concentration and pump power. The possible UC mechanism is discussed in detail according to nanocrystal morphology, ion radii, lattice parameters and decay lifetime studies of the Yb3+–Er3+ doped analogous compounds (KMgF3, KZnF3 and KCdF3). It could be concluded that Yb3+/Er3+ ions tend to aggregate in KMgF3, resulting in the largest ratio of red to green UC emission. This research may give a perspective toward tuning the UC emission of lanthanide ions.

β-NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+/ZnO core/shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via a high temperature thermal decomposition method. The as-synthesized core/shell NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy
(TEM), and upconversion luminescence spectra (UCL). Under 980 nm laser excitation, the measured intensity of upconversion luminescence (1I6→3H6, 1I6→3F4, and 1D2→3H6)
was different with and without ZnO. During the sample preparations, changing the ratio of the solvent affected the ZnO UV absorption efficiency. The results show that the NIR light can be used as the driving source to excite ZnO, thus extending utility rate to the NIR spectral region and enhancing
the light harvest rate.

Upconversion (UC) luminescence modulation is quite important in controlling and processing light for active components of light sources, photoswitches, optical memories, and optical sensing devices. In this work, we reported one kind of novel phosphor, Ho 3+ /Yb 3+ -doped SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 ceramics, which displayed both strong UC luminescence and obvious photochromic (PC) reaction. The UC luminescence, PC effect, and the modulation of UC performance based on PC behavior were investigated in detail. By alternating visible light irradiation and thermal stimulus, the UC luminescence could be reversibly regulated. Meanwhile, the modulation was unveiled to tightly rely on the irradiation time and thermal treatment processes. Excellent reproducibility was also achieved. In addition, as an alternative method to thermal treatment, the manipulation of luminescence by electric field was also explored. Finally, the mechanism related to the UC luminescence manipulation was illustrated. The results indicate that these samples could be potentially utilized in optical data storage and anti-counterfeiting security fields.

Upconversion nanomaterials have been extensively applied in many fields owing to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this work, β-NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ microcrystals were synthesized by an improved hydrothermal method. The morphology and the composition of the prepared microcrystals were experimentally investigated in detail by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Under the excitation of a 980 nm continuous-wave (CW) laser, the green (541 nm) and red (644 nm) upconversion luminescence (UCL) of Ho 3+ through the energy transfer upconversion processes assisted by the Yb 3+ ions were experimentally studied at the single-particle level. With the gradual increase of excitation intensity in the highly doped Yb 3+ microcrystals, the red UCL was enhanced significantly more than the green UCL and was dominant, resulting in the UCL color finally tuning to pure red. Comparatively, for the lightly doped Yb 3+ microcrystals, the green UCL exhibited a relatively similar increase to the red UCL. The populations of the Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ ions and transitions of the UCL were systematically demonstrated through calculation of the energy levels. Notably, a new UCL at 580 nm was observed, which was ascribed to the transition of 5 F 1 , 5 G 6 → 5 I 7 .

${{\rm Er}^{3 +}}/{{\rm Yb}^{3 +}}$ co-doped ${{\rm SrBi}_4}{{\rm Ti}_4}{{\rm O}_{15}}$ crystalline powders were synthesized using the high-temperature solid-phase method. The crystal structure of the obtained phosphors was analyzed through x-ray diffraction (XRD), confirming the purity of all products such as ${{\rm SrBi}_4}{{\rm Ti}_4}{{\rm O}_{15}}$. Employing experimental design optimization theory, regression equations were established to correlate the ${{\rm Er}^{3 +}}/{{\rm Yb}^{3 +}}$ doping concentrations with the luminescent intensities. The genetic algorithm was utilized to compute the optimal solutions of the equations, resulting in ${{\rm Er}^{3 +}}$ and ${{\rm Yb}^{3 +}}$ doping concentrations of 3 mol% (molar fraction) and 20 mol% under 980 nm laser excitation and 3 mol% and 29.79 mol% under 1550 nm laser excitation. The up-conversion fluorescence emission spectra of the samples were measured under 980 nm excitation, revealing intense green emissions at 525 nm, 550 nm, and 662 nm, corresponding to the $^2{{\rm H}_{11/2}}{\to}{^4}{{\rm I}_{15/2}}$, ${^4}{{\rm S}_{3/2}}{\to}{^4}{{\rm I}_{15/2}}$, and $^4{{\rm F}_{9/2}}{\to}{^4}{{\rm I}_{15/2}}$ energy levels, respectively. Under 1550 nm excitation, peaks corresponding to the same energy levels were observed at 523 nm, 548 nm, and 661 nm. The relationship between the up-conversion fluorescence and the laser operating current for the optimal samples under 980 nm and 1550 nm excitations was explored, indicating two-photon and three-photon processes, respectively. Detailed analysis and discussion of the up-conversion fluorescence mechanisms were conducted. Additionally, the relationship between the up-conversion fluorescence and the temperature for the optimal samples was investigated, revealing excellent temperature sensing characteristics under 980 and 1550 nm laser excitations. The CIE coordinates for the optimal samples were calculated as (0.3111, 0.6747) and (0.5254, 0.4671) under 980 nm and 1550 nm excitations, respectively.

Up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) stimulated by near-infrared (NIR) light have received immense interest for their potential applications in many fields. In this work, Nd 3+ - and Yb 3+ -sensitized Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BiT x :Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ , 0.005 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) UCNPs with thermometric and photo-thermal (PT) functions were successfully synthesized by a convenient co-precipitation approach, and the phase and morphologies were characterized. Under 980 nm excitation, BiT x :Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs exhibited remarkable multiple emissions in the region from 450 to 900 nm. The visible and NIR emissions were tightly dependent on the Nd 3+ concentration and the strongest NIR emissions were obtained in sample BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ . The possible UC mechanisms and processes were proposed. Furthermore, the capability of the UCNPs as thermometers was probed based on the thermo-responsive fluorescence intensity ratio technique in the temperature range 303–573 K. The maximum sensitivity (S max ) of BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ was determined to be as high as 0.032 K -1 . Meanwhile, PT effect was evaluated by monitoring the variation of surface temperature of the sample as functions of irradiation time and power density. Conspicuous PT effect was confirmed and the maximum temperature induced by laser was about 91 °C. These results reveal that BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs has promising potential applications as optical thermometer and heater.

Developing novel broadband near-infrared (NIR) phosphors is crucial to promote NIR phosphor-converted light emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) development. In this paper, a novel multifunctional near-infrared phosphor, SrGa 4 O 7 :Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ , was synthesized by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method. The emission band of the material spans from 650 nm to 1100 nm. Despite the predominance of four-coordinate and five-coordinate sites within the SrGa 4 O 7 (SGO) lattice, the incorporation of Cr 3+ ions induces distortion in the Ga–O tetrahedra, resulting in an octahedral environment for Cr 3+ . Under blue light excitation, the Cr 3+ ions exhibit an ultra-wide emission band (650–900 nm) with a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of 131 nm. Furthermore, energy transfer from Cr 3+ to Yb 3+ was achieved in SrGa 4 O 7 :Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ , and the incorporation of an optimal quantity of Yb 3+ co-dopant yielded a significantly enhanced and extraordinarily broad spectrum from 600 to 1100 nm. Moreover, Yb 3+ -codoping improves the thermal stability due to the energy transfer from Cr 3+ to more thermally stable Yb 3+ emitters, and the integrated intensity of SrGa 4 O 7 :Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ at 300 K was 74% of that at room temperature. Based on these findings, a blue-light-excited NIR pc-LED was encapsulated. The forward voltage and intensity of the LED remained almost constant after 500 h of thermal aging at high temperatures, indicating its particular reliability in NIR pc-LED applications. The results show that SrGa 4 O 7 :Cr 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors have great potential in ultra-wideband NIR pc-LED applications.

Er 3+ ions and Yb 3+ ions co-doped indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) phosphors were successfully synthesized by high temperature solid phase method. At 980 nm laser excitation, the phosphor has weak 552 nm green and strong 661 nm red emission bands. And the upconversion luminescence (UCL) intensity of red light is significantly stronger than that of green light. They are attributed to the 4 S 3/2 → 4 I 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions of Er 3+ , respectively. And the optimal sample is In 2 O 3 : 4 % Er 3+ , 10 % Yb 3+ . The appearance of phosphor was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The UCL of phosphor is a two-photon process based on power dependence. In addition, photoluminescence excitation spectra and down-conversion luminescence spectra are used to explain the luminescence mechanism. The temperature sensing property of the phosphor in the temperature range of 348 K–598 K were tested. The sensitivity were obtained by fluorescence intensity ratio ( FIR ). The fit degree of FIR is 0.9936. It achieves a maximum relative sensitivity of 0.73 % K −1 at 348 K and a maximum absolute sensitivity of 0.039 K −1 at 373 K. In 2 O 3 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors with high quality luminescence and excellent sensitivity have important application value in non-contact temperature measurement.
