Abstract

Nano-size phosphor particles of Y2.97Ce0.03(Al1−x Gd x )5O12 were fabricated by ablating commercial micron-size powders in deionized water. We show that these colloidal phosphor nanoparticles suspended in deionized water can be used as a liquid sensor for all-optical, non-contact measurements of temperature with nanosecond time resolution. The nanophosphors can be used as temperature-sensing reporters in many applications where real-time measurements of temperature are necessary to understand physical processes, such as the mechanisms of temperature–time profiles in laser ablation.
