Under 980 nm excitation, Eu3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ tri-doped YF3 nanocrystals emitted ultraviolet and visible fluorescence. Besides the upconversion emissions from Tm3+ ions, not only were the unusual D-5(2) -> F-7(3), D-5(3) -> F-7(J) emissions of Eu3+ observed, but also the ultraviolet upconversion luminescence of Eu3+ from H-5(3-7), (5)G(2-6), L-5(6) -> F-7(0) transitions were recorded. This unique optical property was attributed to the bridging function of Tm3+ ions in populating high-energy states of Eu3+ ions. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
