Lanthanide-doped nanomaterials unlock new horizons for advanced imaging and photonics

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new class of lanthanide-doped nanomaterials that exhibit extraordinarily high optical nonlinearity, exceeding a magnitude of 500. This achievement establishes a new global benchmark for photon avalanche nanophotonics. The paper is published in Nature.
