Boosting the brightness of short-wave infrared emission in YPO <sub>4</sub> :Yb <sup>3+</sup> /Er <sup>3+</sup> phosphors: optimal photoluminescence quantum yield <i>versus</i> particle size
Toward tracer-based sorting: under 980 nm excitation, YPO 4 :Yb 3+ /Er 3+ shows strong 1540 nm emission with 78% PLQY, far brighter than commercial Y 2 O 2 S:Yb 3+ /Er 3+ (7% PLQY), due to optimized particle size and higher PLQY.
