EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Orthogonal excitation polarization dictated by site symmetry in upconversion luminescence of $β − {NaYF}_{4} : {Er}^{3 +}$ microrods

Liji Wang, Yan Liu, Siyu Guo, Long Zhang, Zhanghai Chen, Guanying Chen, and Ai-Hua Li

Phys. Rev. B 114, 165403 (2026) - Published 2 September, 2026

Here, the authors build a symmetry-based framework for rare-earth upconversion luminescence via deterministic polarization correlations among sequential absorption steps, previously assumed to be uncorrelated. Using polarization-resolved spectroscopy and crystal field modeling, they assign full Stark levels and irreducible representations for Er $^{3 +}$ in β-NaYF $_{4}$ microrods and identify an approximate $C_{3}$ site symmetry. Since excited-state absorption inherits ground-state polarization constraints, both downshifting and upconversion luminescence exhibit excitation-wavelength-tunable, region-selective orthogonal excitation polarization responses.
