Fig. 1. Schematic illustration of the MPA mechanism with different emitters. For the nonlinear process, nonlinear order is defined by , where is the emission intensity and is the excitation intensity. The photon avalanche firstly occurs in co-doped core and emissions from and all exhibit a nonlinear order of . The avalanching energy can migrate to the third ion (, , etc.) via sublattice, triggering multiplied nonlinear upconversion luminescence. Credit: Qiuqiang Zhan, South China Normal University.
