Multi-color luminescence and anticounterfeiting application of upconversion nanoparticle

the diverse doped rare earth ions in a single UCNP under continuous-wave laser excitation (980 nm). Simultaneously, the emission color of the UCNPs can change with the intensity of the excitation light source and the wavelength. The bright-white emission can be used for lighting displays, and the flexible full-color emission can be applied in the anticounterfeiting and information storage fields.
