Ho3+ doped fluoride thin film was deposited on common glass matrix by low energy pulse laser (532 nm, quadratic harmonics of Nd: YAG laser). Red and green upconversion luminescences with central wavelength of 770 and 540 nm have been observed through Japan R-500 spectrometer with excitation of 632.8 nm He-Ne laser. These upconverted emissions are ascribed to transitions of 5S2-->5I7, 5F4-->5I7 and 5S2-->5I8 and they are realized by two step absorption of Ho3+ ions and energy transfer among Ho3+ ions.

Optical imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) holds great promise for biomedical detection due to reduced tissue scattering and autofluorescence. However, the rational design of NIR-II probes with superior excitation wavelengths to balance the effects of tissue scattering and water absorption remains a great challenge. To address this issue, here we developed a series of Ho-sensitized lanthanide (Ln) nanocrystals (NaYF: Ho, Ln@NaYF) excited at 1143 nm, featuring tunable emissions ranging from 1000 to 2200 nm for bioimaging.

Near-infrared optical thermometers have sparked great interest for their ability to provide non-destructive testing and high-resolution. However, the restricted relative sensitivity and single temperature measurement mode represent the current limitations of luminescent thermometers. Herein, near-infrared dual-mode ratiometric thermometers with high sensitivity in La(MoO): Yb, Ln (LMO: YbLn, Ln = Er, Ho, Nd) phosphors were designed.

Exploring lanthanide light upconversion (UC) has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the near-infrared (NIR) responsive region of silicon solar cells (SSCs). However, its practical application under normal sunlight conditions has been hindered by the narrow NIR excitation bandwidth and the low UC efficiency of conventional materials. Here, we report the design of an efficient multiband UC system based on Ln/Yb-doped core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (Ln/Yb-UCNPs, Ln= Ho, Er, Tm).

New luminescent nanoparticles with adjustable emission properties were synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate the effect of Ce concentration on the tuneable emission properties of Yb/Ho co-doped gadolinium borates. The synthesized samples' comprehensive structural and morphological analysis was conducted utilizing X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. To obtain highly crystalline nanoparticles GdBO:Yb/Ho/Ce characterized by intense and bright emission, they were annealed at 525 °C and 925 °C.

Improving the broadband luminescent properties in ∼2 μm band has always been a serious challenge. This paper proposed a Tm, Ho and Er doped combination in tellurite glass, which was synthesized through melt-quenching and characterized by a series of physical and spectral tests. Firstly, tellurite glass of Tm-Ho co-doping produced a ∼2 μm broadband luminescence ranging from 1570 to 2200 nm with FWHM (full width at half maximum) of 379 nm under 808 nm pumping.
