摘要
Optical temperature sensing using upconversion fluorescence emission in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glass excited at 1.06 mu m is reported. Temperature measurements in the region of 20-225 degrees C with a resolution of approximately 0.5 degrees C using excitation powers of a few tens of milliwatts were obtained. The temperature sensing mechanism is independent of variations in the excitation intensity, possible fluctuations of transmission, and utilizes a simple signal detection and processing system. The results also revealed that the glass host material plays an important role in the performance of the sensing system. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
