NIR-II-to-NIR-II Upconversion and Covert Optical Encryption in Lanthanide Halide Double Perovskites

Le résumé fourni par la source

NIR‑II‑to‑NIR‑II upconversion under 1550 nm telecommunication-wavelength excitation is promising for advanced photonics, but high concentrations of Er3+ sensitizers inevitably cause severe quenching. Here, we report a lanthanide halide double perovskite enabling efficient NIR-II-to-NIR-II upconversion through a dense Er3+ excitation network. The highly concentrated Er3+ sublattice functions as an energy-harvesting and migration platform, sensitizing Tm3+, Nd3+, and Ho3+ under 1550 nm excitation. A strong NIR-II Tm3+ emission is achieved via efficient Er3+→Tm3+ energy transfer. Introduction of Yb3+ as an intermediate energy bridge effectively overcomes energy mismatch and further enhances 1220 nm emission, while cross-relaxation within the Er–Yb system enables excitation-dependent multicolor tunability. The synergy of visible and NIR-II emissions allows multilevel optical encoding, enabling concealed anticounterfeiting and wavelength-selective encryption.
