Peculiarities of Photoinduced Heating of Perovskite Nanocrystals with Effective Anti-Stokes Photoluminescence under Near-Resonant Laser Excitation.

The optical properties of a photoluminescent material based on CsPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystals were studied in this work. The laser heating of the obtained samples was studied under three different regimes of laser excitation: the photoluminescence band appears in the Stokes region, in the anti-Stokes region, and coincides with the excitation line. It was found that under laser excitation of a certain wavelength, this material is able to demonstrate predominantly anti-Stokes (upconversion) photoluminescence. A method is proposed for estimating the PL quantum yield from data on absorption, photoheating, and the position of the photoluminescence band of a sample at two different wavelengths. The external photoluminescence quantum yield of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals was experimentally determined to be 91 ± 4%. The results of this work can be useful for the development of optical cooling technology and can be used in the development of laser devices based on perovskite materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
