Abstract:
Directly full-color frequency-upconversion under high-order multiphoton absorption (MPA) nonlinearities in NIR-III (1550-1870 nm) and NIR-IV (2100-2300 nm) windows is highly desirable for advanced photonics and bioimaging. However, it has remained beyond the reach of current materials due to their inherently weak high-order MPA. Here, we demonstrate that, driven by Bloch oscillations of excitonic dipoles after nonlinear polarization, giant multiphoton nonlinearities can be achieved in layered hybrid perovskites to enable full-color upconversion in NIR-III/IV windows. The MPA cross-section values of the designed three Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites are found to be several orders of magnitude larger than those of the reported MPA materials. These advancements facilitate versatile applications previously inaccessible in NIR-III/IV windows, including full-color upconversion displays and multicolor information encryption. Our work highlights the prospect of efficient high-order MPA and opens avenues for investigating excitonic quantum dynamics in high-order nonlinear optics.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
