MSc Tero Laihinen will have his doctoral thesis defence on Wednesday 14th of December at 12 o’clock in the lecture hall Arcanum 1.

The title of the thesis is “Lanthanide doped NaYF4 up-conversion luminescence materials” and focuses on improving the co-precipitation synthesis procedure and modification of the up-conversion luminescence color of the materials.

Mr. Laihinen has been working in our group during his doctoral studies and is supervised by Adj. Prof. Mika Lastusaari. During his work he has improved the manufacturing process and proved that it is possible to obtain efficient up-conversion luminescence from multiple lanthanide doped materials.
