Abstract
Upconversion (UC) based luminescent materials have promising applications in noncontact temperature sensors. How to improve the sensitivity is one main object at present. This work presented several strategies for optical temperature sensing based on UC spectra of the Y2WO6:Yb3+-Er3+/Ho3+/Tm3+ phosphors. The improvement for the relative ( SR) and absolute ( SA) sensitivities were discussed by using a fluorescence intensity ratio technique. It includes thermally coupled levels (TCLs) and non-TCLs. It was proposed that a piecewise expression could be employed to achieve high SA value for TCLs. However, improving the SR value is limited for TCLs. With regard to the non-TCLs, SR and SA are not restricted, but not easy to be improved synchronously. On the other hand, the morphology and UC spectra of the samples were also studied. The above investigation could be instructive to develop new luminescent materials with high sensitivity.
