Abstract

Three-dimensional-ordered Yb/Er co-doped Bi₂Ti₂O₇ inverse opal, powder, and disordered reference samples are prepared and their upconversion (UC) emission properties and mechanisms are investigated. Significant suppression of UC emission is detected when the photonic band-gaps overlap with Er³⁺ UC green emission bands. Interestingly, green and red UC emissions follow a two-photon process in the powder sample but a three-photon one in the inverse opal.
