The rational design of brighter UCNP requires an improved understanding of the radiationless deactivation pathways in UCNP, that are affected by size, surface chemistry, and microenvironment. In this respect, we discuss the experimental requirements on absolute measurements of the upconversion quantum yield and its excitation radiant power density dependence and present the design and characterization of unique integrating sphere setup for such measurements in the vis to IR spectral region including its calibration, the influence of the excitation beam profile and solutions to perform such measurements in aqueous media.

A straightforward approach to pl values presents their absolute determination using an integrating sphere set up. This procedure circumvents the use of standards thereby avoiding additional measurements and uncertainties related to their often debated pl values. In this respect, we discuss the experimental requirements on absolute measurements of down and upconversion quantum yields (UC), the later presents currently one of the most challenging spectroscopic measurements due to its multiphotonic character. We explore the challenges for determination of excitation power density (P) dependent pl(P), present the design and characterization of a unique integrating sphere setup for such measurements in the vis to IR spectral region including its calibration, and the influence of the excitation beam profile to perform pl measurements of liquid and solid materials. As an example for downshifting materials we present doped core-shell CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (d-dots) which show a nearly host material and crystal size independent emission with large Stokes shifts and minimum reabsorption.2 Systematic variation of the reaction components, parameters and thickness of the ZnS shell yielded doped nanocrystals with a very high pl, high reproducibility and large quantities. Application of these NCs in the light conversion layers of commercial monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) solar cells led to a significant enhancement of the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of this devices in the ultraviolet spectral region between 300 and 400 nm. On the other hand, lanthanide-doped up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs), are promising light converters from the near infrared to the visible region. These NPs show multiple narrow emission bands in the visible (vis) and NIR, excellent photostability, and long luminescence lifetimes. The rational design of brighter UCNP requires an improved understanding of the radiationless deactivation pathways, that are affected by size, surface chemistry, and microenvironment.3 We give an insight into the influences of these parameters on the photophysical key characteristics of the upconversion process such as UC(P), the luminescence decay behavior, the power dependent red-to-green intensity ratio, and intensities of the individual emission bands.
