Infrared to green up-conversion emissions centered at the wavelengths of about 524 and 550 nm of the Er3+-Yb3+ codoped borosilicate glass are recorded,using a 978 nm semiconductor laser diode(LD) as an excitation source.The fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) of the green up-conversion emissions at about 524 and 550 nm in the Er3+-Yb3+ codoped borosilicate glass has been studied as a function of temperature over the temperature range of 295-873 K.The maximum sensitivity and the temperature resolution derived from the FIR of the green up-conversion emissions are approximately 0.0038 K-1 and 0.2 K,respectively.It is demonstrated that the prototype optical temperature sensor based on the FIR technique from the green up-conversion emissions in the Er3+-Yb3+ codoped borosilicate glass plays a major role in temperature measurement.
