Yes, APC can definitely be excited by a UV laser, and emit out in the red. It's
not very efficient, as you note, but it does occur. This is a problem when
using a colinear UV/HeNe system! For our three-laser excitation, we keep them
spacially separate and use 2 different delay timers for the second and third
lasers... but, as far as I am aware, only the Cytomation electronics currently
allows for such a setup (for commercial systems, that is).
