■ Abstract :  
Recently, photon avalanche has been observed in single nanoparticles, offering building blocks for a wide range of applications in high-sensitivity pressure and temperature sensing and super-resolution optical imaging with simple confocal microscopy. In this talk, I will discuss photoswitching behavior of Tm3+-doped avalanching nanocrystals. I will explain the photoswitching mechanism associated with color center generation and address the enhancement of photoswitching capability realized in inorganic nanocrystals. Following that, I will introduce applications of these photoswitchable nanocrystals including 2D and 3D optical patterning using low-cost continuous-wave lasers and super-resolution optical microscopy with sub-angstrom localization accuracy. I will conclude this talk by providing potential future applications of these highly nonlinear photoswitchable nanomaterials.
