摘要
Efficient upconversion of photoluminescence from donor-bound excitons is revealed in bulk and nanorod ZnO. Based on excitation power-dependent PL measurements performed with different energies of excitation photons, two-photon absorption (TPA) and two-step TPA (TS-TPA) processes are concluded to be responsible for the upconversion. The TS-TPA process is found to occur via a defect/impurity (or defects/impurities) with an energy level (or levels) lying within 1.14-1.56 eV from one of the band edges, without involving photon recycling. One of the possible defect candidates could be V-Zn. A sharp energy threshold, different from that for the corresponding one-photon absorption, is observed for the TPA process and is explained in terms of selection rules for the involved optical transitions.
