Abstract

A probabilistic model for the two-photon process of infrared-to-visible light conversion by

{Yb}^{3 +}

{Tm}^{3 +}

or similar rare-earth ion systems in solids is considere. The model demonstrates the basic influence of the infrared pump power and the lifetime of the intermediate excited state on the conversion efficiency.
