The dependence of the upconversion luminescence on temperature has been determined. As temperature drops from room to cryogenic temperatures, the upconversion green emission reaches a maximum around 40 K, and then decreases. A nearly quadratic dependence of the upconversion luminescence with excitation power is found, which is consistent with a sequential stepwise two-photon absorption process. These results have been explained with a semiclassical model that considers the inhomogeneous broadening of the optical transitions due to glass imperfections, and the dependence of the homogeneous linewidth broadening on temperature.engjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jlumin.2013.02.033https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022231313000896http://webs.ucm.es/info/laserlab/papers/2013JLuminEgatz-Gomez_UC_EDF.pdfrestricted access535.57621.391.6535.37UpconversionErbium doped fiberHomogeneous broadeningExcited state absorptionÓptica (Física)Teoría de los quantaFibras y comunicación ópticaÓptica no líneal2209.19 Óptica Física2210.23 Teoría Cuántica2209.5 Fibras ópticas2209.13 Óptica no lineal
