Abstract
In light of recent developments on Yb<sup>3+</sup>-based upconverting rare-earth nanoparticles (RENPs), we have systematically explored the spectral features of LiYbF<sub>4</sub>:RE<sup>3+</sup>/LiYF<sub>4</sub> core/shell RENPs doped with various amounts of Tm<sup>3+</sup>, Er<sup>3+</sup>, or Ho<sup>3+</sup>.
