Up-conversions in RE-doped Solids

As for other fiuorescence light emitters, rare-earth-doped solids usually follow the well known principle of the Stokes law which simply states that excitation photons are ar higher energy than emitted ones, or in other words that out put photon energy is weak, less than input photon energy. Such a principle is valid of course only when one ion system is considered.
