Abstract

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.
