The research of frequency up-conversion has been developed greatly in recent ten years. In order to achieve its applications, it needs to enhance the up-conversion efficiency further greatly, which is the core problem of up-conversion. Because of the specialty of Yb3+ ion energy level, Yb3+ can greatly enhance up-conversion luminescence of co-doped rare earth ion activator through energy transfer. Meanwhile it may not cause the obvious fluorescence quenching. Thus it is very significance to investigate up-conversion sensitization which Yb3+ ion acts as a sensitizer. It is more important that it is quite urgent to combine up-conversion efficiency and material property to develop up-conversion. This paper reviews the proposing and developing process of up-conversion sensitization. The achievement of up-conversion sensitization field especial the originate fruit in indirect up-conversion sensitization obtained by China are introduce emphatically.
