摘要
Erbium/ytterbium co-doped fibers have been investigated in this work for the first time to determine their potential in thermometry applications based on the use of fluorescence decay. Several samples have been used and their performance characteristics determined. These have included studies of fiber annealing as well as thermal cycling tests and it was found that unlike other rare-earth ion doped fibers previously studied, such as Nd3+, Er3+, or Tm3+ doped fibers, the Er/Yb co-doped samples used here have shown a much smaller degree of thermal annealing when their thermal characteristics have been evaluated and compared. The response of the thermometer and the error in the measurement was found to be, at < +/-5 degreesC, within the stability of the oven used in the tests over a wide temperature range from 0 to 850 degreesC.
