Abstract
When an erbium-doped fluoride fiber was pumped with a red dye laser beam that resonantly excites the state, we detected efficient violet upconversion emission from the state that is much stronger than the green upconversion emission from the state. Such unusual violet emission was found to be due to a three-photon excitation process.
