摘要
The temperature dependence of the green upconverted emission from the two thermally coupled H-2(11/2) and S-4(3/2) levels of the Er3+ ion in a fluorotellurite glass has been analyzed as a function of the optically active ion concentration in order to check its availability as a temperature sensor. The infrared-to-green upconverted emission have been observed by the naked eyes after a cw laser diode excitation at 800 nm. The fluorescence intensity ratio between the thermally coupled emitting levels as well as the temperature sensitivity has been experimentally obtained up to 540 K. A better behaviour as a temperature sensor has been obtained for the less Er3+ concentrated glass with a maximum sensitivity of 54 x 10(-4) K-1 at 540 K. one of the highest found in rare-earth doped transparent materials.
