Powders of Y2O3 co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ composed of well-crystallized nanoparticles (30 to 50 nm in diameter) with no adsorbed ligand species on their surface are prepared by polymer complex solution method. These powders exhibit up-conversion emission upon 978-nm excitation with a color that can be tuned from green to red by changing the Yb3+/Er3+ concentration ratio. The mechanism underlying up-conversion color changes is presented along with material structural and optical properties. PACS: 42.70.-a, 78.55.Hx, 78.60.-b.

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.

Er and Er/Yb-doped phosphate-based glasses have been synthesized by melt quenching technique and are characterized by absorption spectra, infrared emission, decay curves, Fourier transform infrared spectrum and up-conversion studies. From the absorption spectra, intensity parameters and radiative properties have been derived utilizing the Judd-Ofelt theory. Er-doped glass is found to have larger radiative lifetime for the laser originating from I level at 1537 nm.
