Abstract
Superfluorescence (SF) is a unique quantum mechanical behavior arising from the self-organization between emitters, thus forming a cooperatively coupled assembly. In contrast to isotropic spontaneous emission or normal fluorescence, SF produces a short but intense burst of light, which makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications in biophotonics, electronics, and optical computing. Due to the prerequisite of cooperative emitter coupling, SF has been conventionally observed under cryogenic conditions in limited systems, such as atomic gases, and a few bulk material systems. Here we show lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as a medium to achieve anti-Stokes shift SF at room temperature.
