Reviewer 2 Report
The manuscript is not in the reviewable stage. Extensive grammatical errors are present everywhere and these render this manuscript not suitable for review in the present format. These errors exist almost everywhere: in the abstract, introduction, results, and conclusion sections. It also includes undefined acronyms such as SA, etc., which makes the job of the reader difficult. The authors should improve the quality of the Figures/visibility as well, such as improved font sizes, labels, and legends, and cite borrowed equations if have any. The research work is interesting however, I cannot review this manuscript further unless the authors revise and resubmit it.

Reviewer 3 Report
Dear authors,
This is an interesting manuscript for the Nanomaterials audience. English should be improved in various instances since it is hard to read and understand the significance of this work. Turnit-in showed a 24% similarity index, especially in paragraphs:2.1-2.4 with text from previous manuscripts, that should be revised.
Specific Comments
P1, L14: ‘and a thresh- old pump power as low as 20 mW is achieved, and a single-frequency laser’ Please revise.
P1, L17: ‘SAs’ Please define every abbreviation the first time cited in the text.
P1, L22: ‘In recently,’ Please revise.
P1, L28: ‘and medical treatment[11]’ I cannot find Ref 11 in the Journal’s site. Could authors provide it in supplementary materials in order to read the medical applications?

Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
The authors have attempted to improve the quality of the manuscript although they did not mention how they did. Serious grammatical errors are still present in the text. See for example; Abstract "abtained" vs "obtained." The figure quality has been improved. Careful proofreading and correction might still be needed before sending it out for publication.
Author Response
Thank you for your comments! We feel sorry that we have no mention where we have revised in our manuscript in the first round, however, we are pleased to further revised our manuscript by careful proofreading and grammar correction before being sent to publication. For example, we have corrected the word “abtained” into “obtained” in the Abstract section of our manuscript! Besides, we have added a word “most” at Page 1, Line 32 in our revised manuscript, some changes have also been made at Page 2, Line 68. Other grammar corrections have been made and highlighted with red color in our revised manuscript, please check, thank you!
