In this paper, Er3+/Yb3+ codoped Y2(1–x%)Lu2x %O3 solid solution was prepared through the sol–gel method, and the substitution of Y3+ by Lu3+ ions in Y2O3 was confirmed by X-ray diffraction data. The up-conversion emissions of samples under 980 nm excitation and the relative up-conversion processes are investigated. The emission shapes do not vary with the change in doping concentration due to the unaltered cubic phase. The red-to-green ratio changes from 2.7 to 7.8 and then declines to 4.4 as the doping concentration of Lu3+ increases from 0 to 100. The emission lifetimes of green and red have similar variation: the emission lifetime decreases with doping concentration changing from 0 to 60 and rises as the doping concentration continues to increase. The reason why the emission ratio and lifetime change could be originated to the exacerbation of cross-relaxing process and the change of radiative transition probabilities. The temperature-dependent fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) shows that all samples can be used in noncontact optical temperature sensing, and the method of local structure distortion can be used to improve sensitivity further. The max sensing sensitivities of FIR based on R538/563 and Rred/green reach 0.011 K–1 (483 K) and 0.21 K–1 (300 K). The results display that Er3+/Yb3+ codoped Y2(1–x %)Lu2x %O3 solid solution can be potential candidates for optical temperature sensing in different temperature ranges.

To settle the unsatisfying efficiency and insufficient light harvesting ability of photocatalysts, we report on the development of Er3+/Yb3+-codoped BiOBr (BiOBr:Er3+/xYb3+) microparticles that were synthesized by a rational high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The prepared microcrystals exhibit high visible upconversion (UC) emissions with maximum intensities at x = 0.01 when excited by a 980 nm laser. Remarkably, the corresponding UC emission process is attributed to a two-photon absorption route. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activities of as-synthesized compounds were further evaluated through analyzing the visible–near-infrared light-triggered tetracycline degradation. Compared with BiOBr:Er3+ microparticles, BiOBr:Er3+/xYb3+ microparticles present superior photocatalytic properties and the optimal status is achieved when x = 0.05, in which h+, ·O2–, and ·OH active species contribute to the photocatalytic mechanism. Additionally, the designed microparticles exhibit better photocatalytic abilities than previously reported photocatalysts (i.e., TiO2, SnO2) upon full-spectrum light irradiation. These results reveal that Yb3+ codoping is able to not only enhance the UC emission properties of BiOBr:Er3+ microparticles but also reinforce their photocatalytic activities. Our findings may put forward a facile strategy to regulate the photodegradation capacity of photcatalysts.

The Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors co-doped with Li + and Li + /Mg 2+ ions were prepared via solid state reaction method. The effects of Li + and Mg 2+ co-doping on the structure and morphology of Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) observations. The 980 nm excitation assisted UC luminescence intensity for green and red band was enhanced by 8.7 and 14.3 times respectively after co-doping with Li + /Mg 2+ ions in Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ , which could be explained based on the variations in crystal structure and particle size. Using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique, the impact of 980 nm pump power on the thermometric behaviors was studied based on the thermally coupled levels of 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 of Er 3+ ions. Due to the unique thermal properties of the Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 host, the temperature increment caused by laser thermal effect was minimized, benefiting the consistency of FIR data over a wide range of pump power density. Besides, a high relative sensor sensitivity of 1.17%K −1 was obtained for Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Li + /Mg 2+ phosphors. These characteristics may make the studied system applicable for optical temperature sensor with high accuracy.

The rapid expansion of data-intensive technologies such as 5G, AI, and cloud computing is pushing optical communication systems to their limits, necessitating the development of advanced materials to extend bandwidth into the L- and U-bands. Fluoro-sulfo-phosphate (FSP) glasses, owing to their multi-anionic compositions and tunable network structures, offer a promising platform for next-generation broadband fiber amplifiers. In this work, a mixed-cation approach employing K + and Ba 2+ is employed to manipulate the local structural environment and enhance glass-forming ability, lifetime (8.7–9.22 ms for Er-doped, ∼10 ms for Er 3 + /Yb 3+ co-doped), emission cross-section (0.59-0.70 × 10 − 20 cm 2 ), energy transfer efficiency (∼85 %), and thermal quenching resistance. Despite their similar sizes and electronegativities, K + and Ba 2+ exhibit contrasting field strengths and polarizabilities, enabling a controlled balance between network connectivity and local disorder. Thermodynamic modeling and experimental results confirm that the introduction of mixed cations significantly broadens the glass-forming region. The addition of AlF 3 further strengthens the network, allowing for the preparation of stable K/Ba-FSP glasses with improved mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Spectroscopic analysis reveals a substantial enhancement in L-band emission efficiency and gain characteristics, with performance improvements ranging from 30 % to 150 % over conventional glass hosts. These findings position K/Ba-FSP glasses as a robust and high-performance candidate material system for broadband rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers and lasers.

Cryolite has been considered as an appropriate host for up-conversion materials due to its low phonon energy, wide light transmission range, easy to form waveguide and stable structure. In this paper, a series of up-conversion materials Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ with cryolite structure were prepared by high-temperature solid-phase method. The structure, morphology, element composition and up-conversion luminescence properties of as-prepared samples were characterized. In addition, the number of photons absorbed during the up-conversion process and the possible up-conversion luminescence mechanism are analyzed in detail. Under the excitation of 980 nm, the Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ sample emits strong green light visible to the naked eye. Simultaneously, the maximum absolute sensitivity (S a ) and relative sensitivity (S r ) were calculated. All the results indicated that Cs 3 YF 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ has potential applications in the fields of green light display and temperature sensing.

In this paper, a novel cryolite-type up-conversion luminescent material K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ with controllable crystal form was synthesized by a high temperature solid state method. K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ can crystallize in monoclinic or cubic form at different temperatures. The composition, structure and up-conversion luminescence (UCL) properties of K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ samples with different crystal form were investigated in detail. It is impressive that both monoclinic and cubic forms of K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ show green emission (2H11/2/4S3/2→4I15/2). The luminescence intensity of cubic K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6 is much higher than that of the monoclinic form, and the reasons are also discussed in detail. The results show that the luminescence intensity of up-conversion materials can be effectively tuned by controlling the crystal form. According to the power dependent UCL intensity, the UCL mechanism and electronic transition process were discussed. In addition, the fluorescence decay curves were characterized and the thermal coupling levels (TCLs) of Er3+ (2H11/2/4S3/2 → 4I15/2) in the range of 304–574 k were used to study the optical temperature sensing characteristics. All the results show that K3Sc0.5Lu0.5F6: Er3+, Yb3+ can be used in electronic components and have potential application value in temperature sensing fields.

Upconverting materials excited by near-infrared light are getting attention due to their biological applications in cancer treatment. Er 3+ , Yb 3+ and Nd 3+ tri-doped LiLn(WO 4 ) 2 (Ln = Y/La/Gd) phosphors were synthesized via the typical solid-state method. LiGd(WO 4 ) 2 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ , Nd 3+ (LGW) phosphors exhibit the most intense green emission under 785 nm excitation among the three doped host materials, which is ascribed to their lowest phonon density and the strong absorption properties. Nd 3+ and Yb 3+ concentration effect on its luminescent properties and the energy transfer of Nd 3+ →Yb 3+ →Er 3+ under 785 nm excitation are discussed. The ratio of integrated intensity from the 4 S 3/2 / 2 H 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ is characteristic of the optical temperature sensing based on fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR). LGW shows high absolute sensitivity about 0.0070 K −1 at 439 K and broad temperature sensing ranging from 200 K to 600 K under the excitation of 785 nm compared with systems doped with Er 3+ . Our significant results predicate the potential applications of this lanthanum-doped tungstate in optical thermometers.

Up conversion luminescent materials Sr 2 YTaO 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors were prepared by high temperature calcination . In view of the formation, temperature characteristics , and photoluminescence features of the sample, X-ray diffraction and photoluminescence were used. Under the excitation at 980 nm, the series of samples is significantly stimulated by Er 3+ up-conversion luminescence and Yb 3+ sensitization at 524, 550 and 659 nm. According to the diversity of temperature sensing performance from these three highest peaks, a dual-mode temperature sensor on account of fluorescence intensity ratio (thermally coupled level between 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 , and nonthermally coupled energy levels between 2 H 11/2 and 4 F 9/2 ) is achieved by using a single luminescent center. Moreover, the phosphor has strong thermal stability, which is helpful to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement. Under the temperature measurement of a dual-mode temperature sensor, it is calculated that the optimal absolute sensitivity S a of thermally coupled energy level is 0.78 × 10 −3 K −1 (473 K) and relative sensitivity S r is 1.32 %K −1 (293 K), and the maximum optimal absolute sensitivity S a of non-thermally coupled energy level is 1.02 × 10 −4 K −1 (473 K) and relative sensitivity S r is 0.58 %K −1 (293 K). All results imply that Sr 2 YTaO 6 : Er 3+ , Yb 3+ phosphors are promising materials for self-referenced optical temperature measurement.

BaMoO 4 : Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors with different concentrations have been fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method . The morphology observation shows that the shape and size of BaMoO 4 powders change after Er 3+ /Yb 3+ doping. The upconversion luminescence spectra consist of intense green bands centered at 536 and 558 nm and a weak red emission band peaked at 668 nm upon 980 nm excitation. The excitation power and doping concentration have little impacts on the color emitted from the samples. Applying the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique, the temperature sensing behaviors are investigated based on thermally coupled levels ( 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 ) and non-thermally coupled levels ( 4 F 9/2 and 4 S 3/2 ), respectively. The thermometry is sensitive to the excitation power for 4 F 9/2 and 4 S 3/2 levels, leading to large measurement errors caused by the power variation. Such a problem can be solved by using the power-insensitive FIR between 2 H 11/2 and 4 S 3/2 levels, which also shows the advantage of high absolute sensitivity with the maximum of 110.7 × 10 −4 K −1 . So, the developed BaMoO 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ phosphors can be applied in green light upconverters, display devices and temperature sensors .

CaWO 4 phosphors doping with different Er 3+ and Yb 3+ ion concentrations were synthetized through high temperature solid-state reaction technique. Excited by 980 nm laser, the influence of rare earth dopant concentration on the thermometry behavior of Er 3+ green upconversion emissions was discussed via the fluorescence intensity ratio method. Superior temperature sensing ability could be achieved in CaWO 4 : 0.1 mol% Er 3+ -3 mol% Yb 3+ , the maximum sensitivity of which is about 1.05 × 10 −2 K −1 at 439 K. Meanwhile, the pumping laser induced thermal effect on the saturation of upconversion emission intensity has been preliminarily studied. The temperature of the irradiation spot on sample caused by the exposure of excitation laser is observed to be greatly enhanced as the pumping power increased. Based on the steady-state rate equations and the temperature dependence of luminescence decay curves, theoretical calculations have been performed. The results confirm that the laser induced heating effect plays an important role in the luminescence intensity saturation phenomenon.

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are widely used as energy donors via a luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) technique in biosensing field. To enhance LRET efficiency and afford an improved sensitivity for Cu 2+ detection, sandwich structured NaYF 4 @NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ @NaYF 4 UCNPs have been designed and prepared. For the core-internal shell-external shell structure, luminescence ions (Er 3+ ) are located in the internal shell near the nanoparticle surface, which is close enough to energy acceptors outside. To study the sensing properties, the UCNPs are used as energy donors and rhodamine B hydrazide (RBH) as energy acceptors to construct the nanoprobes. It is found that the sandwich structured nanoparticles gains more intense luminescence than the naked NaYF 4 :Er 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs, which is beneficial to the further improvement of signal sensitivity in biological detection. Moreover, the specificity for detecting Cu 2+ is also checked and found that the designed probe is much more sensitive to Cu 2+ than the other ions including K + , Na + , Li + , Ca 2+ , Ba 2+ , Mg 2+ , Zn 2+ and Sr 2+ . The experiment on the stability of UCNPs-RBH probe and RBH shows the 980 nm laser produces less photodamage to RBH than that of visible light. Therefore, the UCNPs can be used to construct potential probes for realizing effective detection of Cu 2+ .

Selectively enhanced green upconversion (UC) and near-infrared (NIR) downconversion (DC) emissions of Er 3+ by Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer sensitizing have been demonstrated in Er 3+ /Yb 3+ /Mn 2+ tri-doped spinel MgGa 2 O 4 upon excitation of 980 nm laser diode (LD). By optimizing the doping rate of Mn 2+ , the intensity ratio of green to red UC emission intensities of Er 3+ (G/R) could be enhanced about 10 times. Meanwhile, the 1.5 μm NIR DC emission could also be increased about 3.6 times in this system. The DC and UC emission properties, UC mechanism, as well as the enhancing mechanism have been investigated and discussed in detail. A selectively enhancing mechanism based on Yb 3+ -Mn 2+ dimer sensitizing is proposed to explain the selectively enhancing phenomena. This work could inspire the design of novel UC materials for various applications, such as temperature sensors and optical transmission, etc.
