The influence of Mn 2+  ion concentration (x = 0–20 mol%) as well as the role of thermal-annealing temperature (400–600°C) on the structural as well as luminescence properties of NaYF 4 :Yb, Er (Y: 78-x%, Yb: 20%, Er: 2%) microcrystals prepared via a coprecipitation method is investigated. The cubic phase of the as-prepared NaYF 4 :Yb, Er (Y: 78%, Yb: 20%, Er: 2%) was found to remain intact upon the addition of the Mn 2+  ions, but the thermal-annealing elucidates that the phase of the sample depends upon the annealing temperature as well as the Mn 2+  ion concentration. Among the Mn 2+  ion co-doped samples, 3 mol% doped samples dominant to have a maximum positive influence on the upconversion luminescence of the sample, and a further increase in concentration leads to the concentration-induced quenching of the upconversion luminescence. Moreover, the enhancement factor of green (), as well as red () emission, depend upon the annealing temperature, with a maximum enhancement factor of 5 and 3.12 times for the sample annealed at 400°C, 8.6 and 7.25 times for the sample annealed at 500°C, and 6 and 4 times for the sample annealed at 600°C, as compared to Mn 2+  ion undoped samples. The maximum emission strength for the green as well as red is observed for the sample annealed at 600°C and co-doped with 3 mol Mn 2+  ions. The laser power-dependent study on all the samples shows that the upconversion process is a multi-photon process, predominantly a two-photon process.
