Upconversion Visible Light Emission in Yb/Pr Co-Doped Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Single Crystals

As a development on previous research on single crystals of Pr<sup>3+</sup>-doped yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), we report here the preparation and optical properties of Yb/Pr co-doped YSZ single crystals with different Yb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> concentration...
