Upconversion materials have great application potential as luminescent materials for enhancing the efficiency of fluorescence lamps by converting their undesired (broad-band) near-infrared output into visible light. In suitable hosts, Er3+ is a very efficient upconverter, but it suffers from the fact that it absorbs near-infrared light only weakly and at very selected wavelengths. This paper shows that this problem can be overcome by co-doping Er3+ and Os4+ into the same host matrix. In the title system Er3+ upconversion luminescence is sensitized efficiently by Os4+ over a broad spectral range.
