Diagram of ETU and two-photon absorption with efficiencies for each process in lanthanide materials.8 Solid arrows represent absorption and emission of light. Dashed arrows represent nonradiative population and depopulation processes that are caused by energy transfer between two lanthanide ions. The wavy arrow represents internal conversion.
