Er3+:Yb3+ co-doped oxy-fluoride glasses with composition of (50-x) GeO2.PbF2.WO3.(6 + x) CdF2.1.4Yb2O3.0.6Er2O3 (x = 10,20,30) were prepared. Their up-conversion fluorescence characteristics were investigated under excitation of 930 nm diode laser. Three strong fluorescence bands of Er3+ whose central wavelength lie in 543, 550 and 655 nm have been observed. The maximum phonon energy is obtained by measuring anti-stokes Raman shifts of the samples, and the up-conversion mechanism is briefly discussed. The influences of host materials composition on up-conversion efficiency are also discussed adopting the average electronegative difference and the cationic field strength of the host. It is found that relative small average electronegative difference and large cationic field strength of host benefit to energy up-conversion.

Luminescent materials doped with rare-earth (RE) ions have emerged as powerful tools in thermometry, offering high sensitivity and accuracy. However, challenges remain, particularly in maintaining efficient luminescence at elevated temperatures. This study investigates the thermometric properties of BiVO: Yb/Er (BVO: Er/Yb) nanophosphors synthesized the sol-gel method.

Fucoxanthin is a typical carotenoid that absorbs light in the blue region of the visible spectrum, and its detailed electronic structures remain to be clarified. It is well known that carotenoids harvest energy from sunlight and transfer it to chlorophylls (Chls) and/or bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) through its excited states as the intermediate states; however, some excited states still need evidence to be definitely confirmed. Through steady-state fluorescence emission spectroscopy and femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence up-conversion technique, we provide new evidence for the identification of the excited S state in fucoxanthin, a representative of carotenoids.

In this study, a fluorescence detection method combining aptamer-modified up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed for detection of Clenbuterol (CLB). The aptamer-modified magnetic NPs captured CLB, which reacted with the aptamer-modified UCNPs and generated a sandwich complex. The aptamer-modified UCNPs acted as a fluorescence source.

Laser-active interference with high confidentiality and convenience opens up a cutting-edge path for releasing and hiding key targets; however, its development still faces enormous challenges owing to the difficulty of concealing objects. Herein, a novel conceptual design for laser-controlled information release and hiding (LIRH) is proposed and successfully realized. CsNaInCl:Er, Yb (CNIC:Er, Yb) perovskite microcrystal is adopted as a carrier for LIRH implementation, exhibiting excellent up-conversion (UC) emission under NIR (980 and 1530 nm) irradiation due to its ultralow phonon energy.
