Abstract
By studying the temperature-induced red-shift of the VO charge transfer band (CTB) edge in YVO4:10% Eu3+, we demonstrate a high-sensitive strategy for optical temperature sensing using the combination of the temperature-induced enhancement of the excitation in the tail of the CTB and the thermal population of 5D1 state of Eu3+. Under a constant 358 nm excitation, the integrated emission intensity corresponding to 5D1 → 7F1 transition of Eu3+ exhibits drastic temperature dependence ranging from 300 to 480 K. A high relative sensitivity SR was obtained to be 3923/T2. Temperature cycling tests were performed to evaluate the reusability and feasibility as temperature sensors. Our results indicate the potential use of the proposed strategy for high performance optical thermometry.
