Abstract
New near IR to near UV upconversion (UC) materials are required for th e development of solid state lasers pumped by laser diodes. Two materi als are reported: an air-stable and efficient UC material emitting mos tly in the yellowish-green and a very promising UC compound, Ba2ErCl7, which is being further characterized spectroscopically. The general r equirements for UC materials are briefly discussed, and the preparatio n of Ba2ErCl7 detailed. The intensity of individual emission bands is compared for known and new UC materials.
