Abstract

We demonstrate controlled Stokes/anti-Stokes
emission from microscopic supraparticle laser structures made of
blended β-NaYF4:Yb3+, Tm3+ upconverting nanoparticles and
CdSeS/ZnS quantum dots. These structures enable multi-colored
upconversion under CW infrared excitation while retaining the
capability of single-color laser oscillation when excited at 355 nm.
