Abstract

Under 978 nm excitation, we explored the infrared-to-ultraviolet upconversion properties in the nanofilms with the nanoparticles of Yb ³⁺, Er ³⁺ codoped calcium fluoride (CaF ₂:Yb ³⁺, Er ³⁺). The strong enhancement of ultraviolet emission was observed. The result is attributed to the optical performance characteristics of the nanostructure materials. Furthermore, a novel upconversion approach explains well the UV-enhanced emission.
