Abstract
En 中文
Under near-infrared-light excitation, anti-Stokes-shift superfluorescence is observed near 590 nm at room temperature in a medium of lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles. The spectral width and radiative decay lifetime are 2 nm and 46 ns, respectively, in the single-nanoparticle case. Superfluorescence (SF) is a unique quantum optics phenomenon arising from the assembly of self-organized and cooperatively coupled emitters. SF produces a short and intense burst of light, ideal for various applications in nanophotonics and optical computing. However, due to the prerequisite for cooperative emitter coupling, SF was conventionally observed in a Stokes-shifted manner under cryogenic conditions in limited systems (for example, atomic gases and perovskite-nanocrystal superlattices). Here we show that room-temperature anti-Stokes-shift SF is achieved in a few randomly assembled or in a single lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticle. Moreover, upconverted SF has a 10,000-fold accelerated nanosecond lifetime (tau = 46 ns of SF versus tau = 455.8 mu s for normal upconversion luminescence), overcoming the slow decay of conventional upconversion systems. Therefore, the conceptual room-temperature anti-Stokes-shift SF not only lays the foundation for ultrafast upconversion but it also paves a straightforward way to a wide variety of applications that have been limited by the existing SF system.
