Abstract

In this study we analyze nano powder Gd2O3 doped with Er3+ and Yb3+. Material was synthesized by simple and efficient solution combustion method. The nano phosphor was optically excited at 980 nm by using pulsed laser diode. We have obtained time resolved upconversion luminescence spectra of nano powder samples of Gd2O3:Er,Yb using a streak camera and analyzed temperature dependence of erbium optical line emission intensities. The possibilities of using Gd2O3:Er,Yb for temperature sensing were analyzed by means of luminescence intensity ratio method. We show that synthesized Gd2O3:Er,Yb material is useful for temperature measurements up to 550 K.
