We present a detailed characterization of enhanced 2.0 μm emission and energy transfer processes by codoping Ce3+ in ZBYA: Ho3+/Er3+ glasses under 1550 nm excitation. The measured absorption and emission spectra show that Er3+ ions are efficiently excited by pumping and energy transfer from Er3+: 4I13/2 to Ho3+: 5I7 level. The 2.0 μm emission from the Ho3+: 5I7→5I8 transition is enhanced by codoping Ce3+ (< 0.5 mol %) ions in the Ho3+/Er3+ doped glasses. However, excess Ce3+ ions in the glass network negatively affect the mid-infrared emission. The upconversion luminescence is dominated by Er3+ (667 nm) red emission in the Ho3+/Er3+ doped sample, which is suppressed after introducing Ce3+ ions. The red emission is abnormally dominated by the Ho3+ (650 nm) emission when the ratio of the three ions (Ho3+/Er3+: Ce3+) is 1:1:0.5. These results indicate that Ce3+ ions can enhance Ho3+: 2.0 μm emission by suppressing the upconversion processes. The Ho3+/Er3+/Ce3+ triply-doped ZBYA glass is a promising material for 2.0 μm fiber laser applications.

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).

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.

Article Synopsis
- Rare-earth oxyfluoride (REOF) colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) have low photoluminescence efficiency due to small size, poor crystallinity, and surface quenching effects.
- An innovative approach involves doping sodium ions into these NCs, resulting in size-controllable, well-crystallized, and highly luminescent core/shell NCs that significantly improve luminescence.
- The developed NCs show potential applications in multicolor luminescent inks for information security and high-resolution imaging in the near-infrared-IIb range, enhancing the use of rare-earth doped NCs in various fields.

In recent years, intensive research has focused on lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NPs) used as noncontact temperature sensors, particularly in nanomedicine. These NPs must be capable of excitation and emission within biological windows, where biological materials usually show better transparency for radiation. In this article, we propose that NPs sensitized with Er ions can be applied as temperature sensors in biological materials.
