Upconversion Modulation through Pulsed Laser Excitation for Anti-counterfeiting
Abstract Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanomaterials are emerging as promising candidates in optoelectronics, volumetric display, anti-counterfeiting as well as biological imaging and therapy. Typical modulations of upconversion through chemical methods, such as controlling phase, composition, morph...

Abstract Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanomaterials are emerging as promising candidates in optoelectronics, volumetric display, anti-counterfeiting as well as biological imaging and therapy.

Here we demonstrate that under pulsed laser excitation the emission color of NaYF4:Er/Tm (2/0.5%)@NaYF4 core-shell nanoparticles has an obvious transformation from green to red colors.
