Inhibited local thermal effect in upconversion luminescence of YVO₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ inverse opals

Opt Express. 2012 Dec 31;20(28):29673-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.20.029673.

Abstract

Upconversion Luminescence (UCL) of YVO₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ inverse opal photonic crystals (IOPCs) was investigated in contrast to the references under the excitation of a 980-nm laser diode. Besides the traditional modification on UCL and dynamics, it is significant to observe that in the IOPCs the temperature quenching and local thermal effect was greatly suppressed.
