Novel PMMA opal photonic crystal/NaYF(4):Yb(3+), Tm(3+)/Er(3+) nanocrystal composites were fabricated and tremendous improvement in upconversion luminescence (UCL) was observed under infrared 980 nm excitation. They were also explored to improve brightness of cell images.
Yin et al. (2013) studied this question.
