Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. (a) TEM image and HR-TEM image (inset), (b) SAED pattern, (c) size distribution, and (d) XRD pattern of the NaYF 4 : Yb , Tm NCs.
Fig. 2. (a) Schematic diagram of energy levels and transitions of Yb 3 + and Tm 3 + ions by 980 nm pumping. (b) Upconversion luminescence spectra of NaYF 4 : 20 % Yb , 2 % Tm by 980 nm excitation at room temperature. The inset of (b) is the plot of peak intensity ratios, I 345 / I 364 , I 346 / I 450 , and I 450 / I 474 versus I p .
Fig. 3. Emission spectra versus different excitation power at (a) 345 nm and (b) 474 nm. The insets of (a) and (b) are the FWHM of the emission spectra of NCs lasers. (c) and (d) Output intensity and FWHM of the emission spectra at 345 nm and 474 nm versus different pump power density. Emission spectra at different observation angles at (e) 345 nm and (f) 474 nm. The left inset of (e) is the optical microscope image of the NaYF 4 : 20 % Yb , 2 % Tm NCs film. The inset of (f) is the sandwich structure of the proposed NaYF 4 : Yb , Tm NCs lasers.
