“…Many extensive studies have been performed on anti-Stokes photoluminescence (ASPL) in bulk semiconductors [1][2][3], quantum-well structures [4,5], hetrojunctions [6] and nanocrystals [7,8]. ASPL has been interpreted as being due to a two-step two-photon absorption process [1-3, 5, 7, 8], a direct consequence of photon recycling [4], or an Auger fountain mechanism [6].…”
