Sw. Allison et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE THERMOGRAPHIC PHOSPHORS - SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF LUPO4-DY(1-PERCENT),EU(2-PERCENT), Applied optics, 34(25), 1995, pp. 5624-5627
The fluorescence properties of a thermographic phosphor in the form of
single crystals of LuPO4: Dy(1%),Eu(2%) have been studied as a functi
on of temperature by the use of a high-temperature oven integrated int
o a spectrophotometer. The results reveal differing rates of decrease
in the fluorescence intensity with increasing temperature for various
emission lines of dysprosium and europium, thus suggesting a new diffe
rential method of remote thermometry for high-temperature applications
and for temperature measurements on moving components.
