Abstract

Mechanical strain can be used to tune the optical properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (1L-TMDs). Here, up conversion photoluminescence (UPL) from 1L-WSe2 flakes is tuned with biaxial strain induced by cruciform bending and indentation method. It is found that the peak position of UPL is redshifted by around 24 nm as the applied biaxial strain increases from 0% to 0.51%. At the same time, the UPL intensity increases exponentially for the up-conversion energy difference that lies within a broad range between −157 meV to −37 meV. The observed linear and sublinear power dependence of UPL emission in 1L-WSe2 with and without biaxial strain at three different excitation wavelengths of 784 nm, 800 nm, and 820 nm indicates the multiphonon-assisted one-photon up conversion emission process. The results of strain-dependent UPL emission from 1L-TMDs pave a unique path to the advances in photon up conversion applications and optoelectronic devices.
