Low phonon energy KPb2X5 (X=Cl, Br) upconverting nanoparticles, both doped and undoped, exhibit dramatically suppressed multiphonon relaxation, enhancing upconversion emission from higher lanthanide excited states and enabling room temperature observation of avalanche like upconversion by Nd3+ ions. Intrinsic optical bistability (IOB) of the materials can provide bit level functionality to all optical computing. The IOB of Nd3+ doped nanocrystals, which are either bright or dark at the same excitation power based on power history, illustrate the functionality. High contrast switching and IOB are enabled via the photon avalanche process, which sustains population inversion between the ground and the first excited 4fN states of Nd3+ ions. The IOB of these nanocrystals can be controlled by temporal pump modulation and can store information.
