Abstract
Considerable effort has recently been devoted to the development of optical fiber based temperature monitoring device owing to their advantage over conventional thermometric techniques. Optical thermometry based upon near infrared excited upconversion fluorescence emission in Ho 3+ activited tellurite glasses excited at 890 nm is presented. Temperature sensing in the range 265–440 K within 2 K accuracy using excitation powers readily obtainable from commercially available Ti–sapphire laser have been achieved. This temperature sensing approach is independent of fluctuations in excitation intensity, environment, transmission and requires a simple and low cost signal detection and processing system. Our results also indicate that the glassy host material also plays a major role in the process of the temperature sensing capacity.
