Critical Power Density: A Metric To Compare the Excitation Power Density Dependence of Photon Upconversion in Different Inorganic Host Materials

Abstract: In photon upconversion (UC) based on triplet−triplet annihilation, the upconversion photoluminescent quantum yield (UC-PLQY) depends on the excitation power density in a way that can be described by a single figure of merit. This figure of merit, the threshold value, allows the excitation power density required for efficient UC-PLQY to be compared between different triplet−triplet annihilation systems. Here, we investigate the excitation power density dependence of two-photon UC processes in a series of four l… Show more

“…The beneficial low CPD values of the 4 S 3/2 ⟶ 4 I 15/2 transition of the Er 3+ ions were earlier reported for the most efficient UC materials as 0.7 W/cm 2 in β-NaYF 4 , 1.0 W/ cm 2 in YF 3 and 1.0 W/cm 2 in La 2 O 3 . 60 The smallest CPD value of the 4 S 3/2 ⟶ 4 I 15/2 transition in BaF 2 crystal (with 2 % of Er 3+ , 15 % of Yb 3+ ions) is 1.1 W/cm 2 , which is just fractionally higher than values calculated for the best UC materials. Table S5 shows the results for the samples that provided the best fit.…”

“…Please do not adjust margins The setup and the methodology for estimation of  UC under 976 nm excitation have been described earlier. 23,60 To record  DS of the 4 S 3/2 ⟶ 4 I 15/2 and 4 F 9/2 ⟶ 4 I 15/2 transitions of the Er 3+ ions a tunable CW laser (Solstis with EMM-Vis, M-Squared Lasers Ltd) pumped by 532 nm laser (Verdi-V18, Coherent) was utilized. The system was tuned to 522 nm for the direct excitation of the 4 S 3/2 level and to 652 nm for the direct excitation of the 4 F 9/2 level.…”

“…On the other hand, the Er 3+ : 4 F 9/2 is populated by two photon mechanisms that do not require thermal activation. [ 21 ] However, the non‐radiative rate increases with temperature thus decreasing the 660 nm band emission. In Figure 1, we schematically show this as non‐radiative transfer between Er 3+ : 4 F 9/2 and Er 3+ : 4 I 9/2 for simplicity, but this reduction can be thought to encompass all additional non‐radiative losses from precursor levels.…”
