Lanthanide-based laser single crystals and luminiscent materials are prepared and optically characterized. Emphasis is paid in femtosecond lasers and upconverting nanoparticles for biomedical purposes.
Tetragonal double tungstates and double molybdates with NaLn(XO4)2 formula codoped wth Yb and Er have record values of thermal sensitivity based in the upconversion monitoring technique. See publications
