All-inorganic lead-free halide double perovskites (HDPs) with unique soft lattice structure have attractive photoluminence (PL) from self-trapping excitons (STEs). However, pristine HDPs suffer from low PL quantum yiled and narrow color gamut, collectively hindering their applications. Here, heavy metal ion Sb 3+ is introduced into rare-earth-based Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 HDPs to enhance the blue emission intensity of STEs and the mechamism is illustrated through DFT calulation. Then lanthanide ions (Ln 3+ = Er 3+ , Ho 3+ ) are added in blue light emissive Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 : Sb 3+ and typical green and red light emission can be obtained via the energy transfer (ET) from STEs to Er 3+ and Ho 3+ , respectively. Luminescence chromaticity modulation and white emission is achieved by adjusting the doping content of Ln 3+ . Leveraging the distinct thermal responses of STEs and Er 3+ emissions in Cs 2 NaLuCl 6 : Sb 3+ , Er 3+ , a dual-mode fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) thermometer is proposed by integrating non-thermally coupled energy levels (NTCL) and thermally coupled energy levels (TCL) of STEs and Er 3+ . The dual-mode FIR thermometer exhibits pronounced chromaticity variation (CIE Δy = 0.072) with temperature range from 294 to 473 K, elevated sensitivity (S r = 1.24 %) at 293 K and better repeatability test, demonstrating its application for high-precision visualized optical temperature sensing.

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) single crystals doped with Tm 2 O 3 , Ho 2 O 3 , and Yb 2 O 3 were prepared by the optical floating zone method in order to investigate the effects of varying the Tm 3+ , Ho 3+ , Yb 3+ contents on the luminescence properties. All samples were shown by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) to be in the cubic phase at room temperature with good crystallinity , and the optical bandwidth of about 4.63 eV indicates their suitability for the development of luminescence products. The blue emission peaks from Tm 3+ following excitation with a 980 nm (1.33 eV) laser increased with Tm 3+ content reached a maximum in the crystal with 0.30 mol% Tm 2 O 3 , and then decreased with higher Tm 3+ concentrations as a result of quenching caused by electric dipole interactions. The ratio of the integral intensities of the green emission peaks at 2.42 eV (539 nm) and 2.36 eV (552 nm) indicate that the probability of the non-radiative transition from the 5 F 4 level of Ho 3+ to the 5 S 2 level decreases with increasing Tm 3+ concentration. This research also demonstrates that there was competition between Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ for the transfer of energy from excited Yb 3+ , and that there was also direct transfer of energy from Ho 3+ to Tm 3+ . Thus, in YSZ doped with a combination of rare earth ions , the luminescence properties are determined by a combination of energy transfer processes between the different types of rare earth ions, as well as those for the individual ions, and thus presents an opportunity for fine tuning emissions from such crystals to produce a new generation of materials with intense luminescence properties.

The perovskite-based multifunctional integrated light-emitting platform has garnered significant attention due to the ultralow phonon energy and flexible lattice plasticity. Achieving both high-efficiency multiband light emission and excellent thermal stability for extreme conditions remains a critical challenge in system design and performance regulation. Herein, Ho 3+ and Er 3+ co-doped Cs 2 NaYCl 6 crystals suppress multiphonon relaxation, enabling precise control of the cross-relaxation between ions, thereby achieving mutual sensitization and multicolor visible fluorescence. Simultaneously, a parallel near-infrared (NIR) channel is activated through quantum cutting, where a high-energy photon is converted into two NIR photons via successive resonant energy transfer from Ho 3+ to Er 3+ , achieving a high internal quantum yield of 147.6%. Notably, the material exhibits high thermal sensitivity and exceptional anti-thermal quenching, with a luminescence intensity of 145.0% at 433 K relative to that at 313 K, showcasing tremendous potential for high-temperature optical sensing. The dynamic multicolor luminescence and highly efficient NIR emission are successfully integrated through a dual-channel luminescence mechanism, which establishes a multidimensional platform for optical encryption and bioimaging based on multifunctional luminescent system and high thermal stability, providing an innovative strategy for developing high-security anti-counterfeiting and deep tissue imaging.

The development of novel phosphors with stable and efficient green and red up-conversion (UC) emission is important for many applications such as fluorescent labeling , color display and anticounterfeiting. In this work, we report a stable and efficient green and red up-converter of LiYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Ho 3+ octahedrons obtained by modified hydrothermal method . The UC emission and luminescence decays of LiYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Ho 3+ with various Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ ion concentrations were studied systematically under 976 nm LD excitation. The Yb 3+ and Ho 3+ ion concentrations were optimized to be 20 mol% and 1 mol% respectively, for efficient green and red UC emissions. LiYF 4 :Yb 3+ ,Ho 3+ presents not only controlled morphology of monodisperse octahedrons with length of ∼20 μm and width of ∼10 μm, but also performs efficient green and red UC emissions, which is about four times stronger than that of β-NaGdF 4 : 20 Yb 3+ ,0.5Ho 3+ (NaGdF 4 : 20 Yb 3+ ,0.5Ho 3+ ). More importantly, the stable UC emission with variation of green intensity ratio ΔG% (G% = I 520-570nm /I 500-700nm , ΔG%= (G%) max -(G%) min ) and red intensity ratio ΔR% (R% = I 625-685nm /I 500-700nm , ΔR%= (R%) max -(R%) min ) < 1% was found over 976 nm LD excitation power density (PD) ranging from 1.0 to 5.6 W/cm 2 . Whereas, their variations of ∼6% and 25% are observed at the same excitation PD for NaGdF 4 :20 Yb 3+ ,0.5Ho 3+ and commercial β-NaYF 4 :20 Yb 3+ ,2Er 3+ (NaYF 4 : 20 Yb 3+ ,2Er 3+ ), respectively. The mechanism of green and red UC emissions in LiYF 4 : Yb 3+ ,Ho 3+ as a consequence of energy transfer processes has been briefly discussed taking into account the UC emission kinetics. The highly stable intensity ratio of G% and R% combined with the efficient green UC color hints the potential application of LiYF 4 : Yb 3+ ,Ho 3+ in fluorescent labeling and color display.

Monodisperse In 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) were firstly synthesized via solvothermal method in three-neck round-bottom flask. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) methods are used to characterize the prepared UCNPs. The size of monodisperse spheroid nanoparticles prepared can be controllable in 31 nm. The sample exhibits stronger upconversion luminescence (UCL) than reported In 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Er 3+ UCNPs with similar size. Furthermore, the obtained In 2 O 3 UCNPs, by coating the SiO 2 protecting layer, display fine stability. Simultaneously, the UCL properties and possible energy transfer process of In 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ and In 2 O 3 : Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ NPs have also been investigated by the spectra distribution and power dependence. The results indicate Yb 3+ /Er 3+ , Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ and Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ codoped In 2 O 3 UCNPs is a probable oxide upconverting material with small size and intense UCL for biological applications.

Temporal modulation of upconversion luminescence (UCL) has attracted considerable interest. However, rise-edge-based tuning strategy is often hampered by severe luminescence quenching, underscoring the need for rational design strategies that simultaneously optimize temporal dynamics and absolute UCL output. Herein, by introducing Na + ions as charge compensators, we overcame the low solubility of Yb 3+ in the SrMoO 4 host lattice and achieve a quenching concentration of up to 20 mol%, far exceeding typical levels in aliovalent doping systems. Coupled with the concomitant lattice distortion, this strategy enhances the excitation energy absorption of Yb 3+ , the energy transfer efficiency from Yb 3+ to Ho 3+ , and the radiative transition rate of Ho 3+ . The green and red UCL intensities exhibit enhancements of >3000-fold and >2000-fold, respectively, yielding a high upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) of 4.11 % and excellent temporal color tunability. These findings provide valuable insights for developing UCL materials capable of efficient dynamic luminescence control.

Lanthanide NIR-II luminescence free from thermal quenching is attractive for various applications at elevated temperatures. Here, we present a thermal enhancement of Er 3+ NIR-II luminescence based on the synergy of phonon assisted Er 3+ -Er 3+ cross relaxations and controllable Er 3+ -Ho 3+ energy transfer. The lattice expansion of NaYGeO 4 olivine phosphor upon heating (298–823 K) suppresses the Er 3+ -Ho 3+ energy transfer and leads up to 46.1 times enhancement of Er 3+ NIR-II luminescence under 379 nm excitation. The NIR-II luminescence evolution as increasing temperature allows dual-mode ratiometric thermometry, i.e., luminescence intensity ratios (LIRs) based on Er 3+ 4 I 13/2 Stark sublevels and on Er 3+ 4 I 13/2 and Ho 3+ 5 I 6 levels. Obtained relative sensitivities above 0.46% K ‒1 over a broad temperature range of 298–673 K with a maximum of 2.32% K -1 suggest NaYGeO 4 :Er 3+ /Ho 3+ phosphor as a promising NIR-II luminescence thermometer. Moreover, this research offers an available perspective for designing thermal-enhanced NIR luminescence in ordinary thermal expansion materials.

Upconversion (UC) nanomaterials are of interest to researchers because of their excellent photostability, effective quantum efficiency and optical temperature dependence. However, most UC nanomaterials are thermally quenched, which causes optical nanothermometers to be susceptible to their own thermal effects, reducing the accuracy of temperature measurements. In this paper, NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ nanorods with UC luminescence and resistance to thermal quenching are prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. The UC luminescence intensity of NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ nanorods is adjusted by doping with Tm 3+ ions. The luminescence intensity at each location shows different temperature dependence as the temperature increases. When the temperature reaches 573 K, the integrated luminescence intensity is three times that at 293 K. At the same time, the intensity at all temperature points in the range of 293–573 K is greater than the intensity at 293 K, which shows that the nanorods have excellent resistance to thermal quenching. In addition, the relative sensitivity ( S r ) of LIR( I 696 / I 476 ), LIR( I 696 / I 541 ), LIR( I 696 /I 646 ), LIR( I 696 / I 802 ), and LIR( I 541 / I 476 ) is investigated based on the luminescence intensity ratio (LIR) technique. The S r of LIR( I 696 / I 802 ) is found to have larger values in the low-temperature range, while S r of LIR( I 696 / I 476 ) has larger values in the high-temperature range. The use of LIR( I 696 / I 802 ) and LIR( I 696 / I 476 ) in separate temperature bands allows S r to reach 0.93–1.67 %K −1 in the range of 293–573 K, confirming that the nanorods have high S r over a wide temperature interval. This study indicates that the NaYF 4 :Yb 3+ /Ho 3+ /Tm 3+ /Gd 3+ nanorods are promising candidates for optical thermometers with high sensitivity, wide temperature range, and resistance to thermal quenching.

Harnessing the color tuning capability of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is of great significance in the field of advanced bioimaging and color display. Here, we report the tunable size and upconversion luminescence (UCL) multicolor in CaF2:Yb3+/Ho3+/Ce3+ UCNPs, which were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. It was found that the size of these UCNPs could be controlled (from 600 to 30 nm) by varying the concentration of Ce3+ ions. Under the excitation of a 980 nm continuous-wave (CW) laser, the UCL color of these UCNPs can be tuned from green to red as the doped Ce3+ ions gradually increase from 0 to 10 mol% and the red-to-green (R/G) ratio is enhanced remarkably. It is suggested that the cross-relaxation (CR) processes between Ho3+ and Ce3+ ions contribute to the tunable multicolor and enhancement of the R/G ratio. The mechanism of these processes is well supported by the time-resolved decay and near infrared (NIR) emission measurements.

In this paper, Er 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped fluoride glasses were prepared by the high temperature melt-quenching technique. Pumped by the 980 nm LD , as a result of the emission spectra overlapping of Er 3+ and Ho 3+ ions, a broadband mid-infrared emission band from 2530 to 2950 nm with a full width at half maximum of the synthetic fluoride glasses near 231 nm was obtained, which exist latent application in wide band tunable mid-infrared fiber laser. Furthermore, the intense 4.1 μm mid-infrared fluorescence (3600–4400 nm) was obtained and the FWHM was 320 nm. The up-conversion emission peaks around 525, 546 and 660 nm, near-infrared emissions at 1.2 and 1.5 μm together with mid-infrared fluorescence around 2.0 μm was observed in Er 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped fluoride glass. Moreover, the relevant energy transfer processes were discussed in detail based on the emission spectrum and the energy level transition processes. The results indicate that the fabricated Er 3+ /Ho 3+ co-doped fluoride glasses exist prominent emission features for fiber laser gain medium.

Lanthanide-doped upconversion (UC) materials are commonly excited by 700–1000 nm laser because of Yb 3+ (980 nm excitation) and Nd 3+ (808 nm excitation) are typically used as sensitizers. However, the excitation band located in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) demonstrates the deeper penetration in biological tissue with minimum tissue scattering and autofluorescence. Herein, intense red UC emission in Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 particles under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation is presented. Red UC luminescence is significantly enhanced and purified through confining the 1532 nm excitation energy by Ho 3+ and Tm 3+ mediators, via an energy back transfer pathway (Er 3+ → Ho 3+ → Er 3+ and Er 3+ → Tm 3+ → Er 3+ ). Furthermore, when the particles injected into the fresh beef, red UC luminescence can be distinctly observed from the inside of beef under 1532 nm NIR-II excitation, implying the deep penetration of 1532 nm NIR-II excitation and 660 nm red UC emission. Our results suggest that bright red UC luminescence from Er 3+ -sensitized NaLuF 4 crystals with 1532 nm NIR-II excitation may be suitable for deep optical imaging .

In this paper, a range of Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ /Ho 3+ triple-doped NaYF 4 microcrystals (MCs) were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, which proved to be a hexagonal phase structure with uniformity. The morphology of NaYF 4 :20% Yb 3+ , 1% Ho 3+ MCs with different doping amounts of NaOH and citric acid were studied using scanning electron microscope, and the distribution of elements of this doping system was characterized by energy dispersive spectrometer. Upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra of the MCs using a fluorescence spectrometer with 980 nm excitation were researched, and the results demonstrated that the tunable multi-color of the MCs can be achieved by varying the doping amount of different rare-earth ions. The UC mechanism of the MCs were systematically described. Li + doped the series MCs improved their UCL efficiency. By investigating the UCL the MCs of the Li + -doped system, the emission intensities of blue (450 nm, 475 nm), green (541 nm), and red (648 nm) light of the series MCs were increased by 2.75, 2.095, 2.65, and 2.87 times, which is of great significance for its application in light-emitting diodes and solar cells.
