An Optoelectronic thermometer based on microscale infrared-to-visible conversion devices.

ABSTRACT: Thermometric detectors are crucial in evaluating the condition of target objects spanning from environments to the human body. Optical-based thermal sensing tools have received extensive attention, in which the photon upconversion process with low autofluorescence and high tissue penetration depth is considered as a competent method for temperature monitoring, particularly in biomedical fields. Here, we present an optoelectronic thermometer via infrared-to-visible upconversion, accomplished by integrated light receiving and emission devices. Fully fabricated thin-film, microscale devices present temperature-dependent light emission with an intensity change of 1.5% °C^-1 and a spectral shift of 0.18 nm °C^-1. The sensing mechanism is systematically characterized and ascribed to temperature dependent optoelectronic properties of the semiconductor band structure and the circuit operation condition. Patterned device arrays showcase the capability for spatially resolved temperature mapping. Finally, in vitro and in vivo experiments implemented with integrated fiber-optic sensors demonstrate real-time thermal detection of dynamic human activity and in the deep brain of animals, respectively.

Project description:Luminescence thermometry is a remote temperature measurement technique that relies on thermally induced changes in spectroscopic properties. Because of its great application potential, even under very demanding conditions where other techniques fail, it has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years. Unfortunately, most of the existing luminescence thermometers are fraught with large inaccuracies and thus are not reliable enough to be applied in real and demanding applications. However, there is one of the most recent and very promising but insufficiently studied approaches to luminescence thermometry quantification - single-band ratiometric luminescence thermometry. It is based on the analysis of the luminescence intensity ratio of a single emission band being photoexcited in two ways, i.e. by ground (GSA) and excited (ESA) state absorption. It is characterized by high relative sensitivity to temperature changes as well as high measurement precision. However, because ESA-excited luminescence intensity can depend on the type and concentration of dopant ions or the properties of the host material, further more-detailed studies must be conducted to understand the impact of numerous photophysical processes on the relative sensitivity, temperature resolution and useful temperature range of SBR LTs. In this work, the effect of interionic interactions occurring through cross-relaxation on the thermometric properties of single-band ratiometric luminescent thermometers in NaYF4:Nd3+ and NaGdF4:Nd3+ was investigated and discussed. In contrast to the disadvantageous concentration quenching phenomenon that is typically observed at an increased content of dopants, the beneficial role of cross-relaxation in the enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio of the ESA-excited luminescence at high temperatures was demonstrated. The maximum relative temperature sensitivity reached was equal to S R = 16.9% K-1 at 223 K for NaYF4:50%Nd3+ nanocrystals and its value remained above 1% K-1 throughout the whole analyzed temperature range from 223 K to 473 K.
