The temperature of erbium-doped lead fluoride nano-glass-ceramics in the range from 44 to 150°C is determined by constructing a projection on latent structures of upconversion fluorescence spectra in violet, green, and red bands. It is shown that the four-dimensional space of latent structures provides the best accuracy of temperature measurements. This space allows one to determine (using a training set of fluorescence spectra with a step of 10°C) temperatures above 70°C with a relative error not larger than 0.5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
