    Abstract
  • The fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) thermometry based on the measurement of luminous intensities of two thermal coupling energy levels of Er3+ provides high precision for the non-contacted thermometry due to its independency of the spectral loss and excitation intensity fluctuations. However, the common FIR technology is based on the up-conversion(UC) excitation, and its low up-conversion efficiency makes the temperature measurement inaccurate. Considering that the thermalization of population in Er3+ can be achieved by different excitation sources, we utilize the efficient down-conversion(DC) optical temperature measurement with a high-energy photon excitation. A tungstate material of NaGd(WO4)2 with high temperature sensitivity is used as the matrix material. It is found that NaGd(WO4)2 can be successfully applied for the DC thermometry, and the temperature sensitivity of Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped sample is higher than that of Er3+ single-doped one. In addition, the DC thermometry possesses higher sensitivity than UC, and the temperature sensitivity of 20%Yb3+/1%Er3+ doped sample is up to 344.6×10-4 K-1, which demonstrates that NaGd(WO4)2:Yb3+/Er3+ is an ideal temperature measuring material. More importantly, it further proves the feasibility of highly sensitive DC thermometry and opens up new prospects for the utilizations of FIR technology.
