Chirality induction, transfer, and manipulation have aroused great interest in achiral nanomaterials. Here, we demonstrate strong upconverted circularly polarized luminescence from achiral core-shell upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) via a plasmonic chiral metasurface-induced optical chirality transfer. The Yb3+-sensitized core-shell UCNPs with good dispersity exhibit intense upconversion luminescence of Tm3+ and Nd3+ through the energy transfer process. By spin-coating the core-shell UCNPs on this chiral metasurface, strong enhancement and circular polarization modulation of upconversion luminescence can be achieved due to resonant coupling between surface plasmons and upconversion nanoparticles. In the UCNPs-on-metasurface composite, a significant upconversion luminescence enhancement can be achieved with a maximum enhancement factor of 32.63 at 878 nm and an overall enhancement factor of 11.61. The luminescence dissymmetry factor of the induced upconverted circularly polarized luminescence can reach 0.95 at the emission wavelength of 895 nm. The UCNPs-on-metasurface composite yields efficient modulation for the emission intensity and polarization of UCNPs, paving new pathways to many potential applications in imaging, sensing, and anticounterfeiting fields.
