— Efficient near‐infrared (NIR) quantum cutting (QC) through cooperative downconversion in Y 3 Al 5 O 12  : RE 3+ ,Yb 3+ (RE = Tb, Tm, and Pr) nanophosphors has been demonstrated, which involves the conversion of the visible photon from RE 3+ into the NIR emission of Yb 3+ with the optimal quantum efficiency approaching 200%. The authors have analyzed the measured luminescence spectra and decay lifetimes and propose a mechanism to rationalize the NIR QC effect. The results indicate the potential of developing RE 3+ ‐Yb 3 dual‐ion‐based nanophosphors for the downconversion of high‐energy photons to multiple photons with an energy greater than the bandgap of silicon‐based‐photonics display devices .
