Abstract

Nd³⁺ :Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ codoped Al₂O₃ powder is prepared by the nonaqueous sol-gel method and pressed into a small wafer. The two-stage sensitization processes for energy transfer among Yb³⁺, Er³⁺, and Nd³⁺ are discussed. Under a 978-nm semiconductor laser excitation, the photoluminescence intensities at 813 and 887 nm, corresponding to the ⁴F_5/2+²H_9/2 →⁴I_9/2 and ⁴F_3/2 →⁴I_9/2 transitions of Nd³⁺ ions, enhance monotonously with the increasing temperature, and the fluorescence intensity ratio of the near-IR emissions can be fitted the exponential function R=3.12 exp(-1150/T) in the temperature range of 375 to 889 K. The maximum sensitivity is 0.0015 K^-1 at 574.3 K. The data are of undoubted repeatability, and the material is applicable for sensitive, high-temperature measurement.
