The fundamental principles of sensitized photon upconversion are explained. Theoretical principles and the correlation to experimental results are shown. Examples are given for particle growth, dissolution as well as influences of size, doping concentration and microenvironment.

In the following, procedures for the determination of the spectroscopic key parameter photoluminescence quantum yield, i.e., the number of emitted per absorbed photons, in the UV/vis/NIR/SWIR are presented including pitfalls and achievable uncertainties and material-specific effects related to certain emitter classes are addressed. Special emphasis is dedicated to luminescent nanocrystals.

In this respect, we discuss experimental requirements of an integrating sphere setup for absolute measurements of the excitation power density dependent quantum yield5,6 (UC(P)) in the VIS to IR spectral region. We report systematic studies of the influence of the UCNP size, surface ligands, and solvent on the UC(P), the up- and downconversion luminescence decay behavior, the power dependent intensities of the individual emission bands, and their slope factors.

This is addressed in the BmWk-financed project FluMikal (WIPANO program) by two research groups from academia and two companies, that is coordinated by BAM. Here we present different approaches to liquid and solid fluorescence standards for the determination of the wavelength-dependent spectral sensitivity of fluorescence microscopes and ideas concerning the choice of suitable fluorescence lifetime standard for increasingly utilized fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM).

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.
