Extending the Palette of Luminescent Primary Thermometers: Yb³⁺/Pr³⁺ Co-Doped Fluoride Phosphate Glasses.

ABSTRACT: The unique tunable properties of glasses make them versatile materials for developing numerous state-of-the-art optical technologies. To design new optical glasses with tailored properties, an extensive understanding of the intricate correlation between their chemical composition and physical properties is mandatory. By harnessing this knowledge, the full potential of vitreous matrices can be unlocked, driving advancements in the field of optical sensors. We herein demonstrate the feasibility of using fluoride phosphate glasses co-doped with trivalent praseodymium (Pr³⁺) and ytterbium (Yb³⁺) ions for temperature sensing over a broad range of temperatures. These glasses possess high chemical and thermal stability, working as luminescent primary thermometers that rely o
