Temperature and pressure are fundamental physical parameters
in
the field of materials science, making their monitoring of utmost
significance for scientists and engineers. Here, the NaSrY(MoO4)3:0.02Er3+/0.01Tm3+/0.15Yb3+ nanophosphor is developed as an optical sensor material. Under 975
nm laser excitation, the upconversion characteristics and optical
detection performance of the multifunctional sensing platform of temperature
and pressure (vacuum) are investigated. We have successfully developed
a novel detection platform that enables optical detection of pressure
(vacuum) and temperature. This platform utilizes thermally coupled
levels (TCLs) and non-TCLs of Er3+ and Tm3+ to
achieve ratiometric detection. The multimodal optical temperature
and pressure detection based on TCLs and non-TCLs is successfully
realized by using different emission bands of double emission centers,
which makes it possible for self-referencing optical temperature and
pressure measurement modes. These results indicate that the developed
nanophosphor is a promising candidate for optical sensors, and our
findings suggest potential strategies for modulating the sensor properties
of luminescent materials doped with rare-earth ions.
