- Abstract
Phosphor
thermometry for surface temperature measurements has become an
established remote thermometry technique. However, measuring at
temperatures above 1700 K is still challenging because of the weak
phosphorescence and intense background from black-body radiation,
leading to low signal-to-noise ratios. Therefore, lifetime-based
phosphor thermometry with YAG:Tm;Li and YAG:Dy for high-temperature
applications were investigated in this study with the aim of improving
the precision of high-temperature measurements. The phosphors were
coated on an alumina-oxide disc, which was placed in a
temperature-controlled oven that exposed the phosphors to temperatures
of up to 1930 K. The... (More)Phosphor

phosphor thermometry with YAG:Tm;Li and YAG:Dy for high-temperature

the precision of high-temperature measurements. The phosphors were
coated on an alumina-oxide disc, which was placed in a
temperature-controlled oven that exposed the phosphors to temperatures
of up to 1930 K. The emission spectra and temporal decay of the
luminescence were recorded for the investigated phosphors including
their sensitivity to oxygen concentration in the gas environment.
Knowledge of oxygen environment sensitivities for measurements of
reduced oxygen concentrations at high temperatures, such as in
combustion, is of great importance to increase confidence in the
measurement. The results suggest that performing a mono-exponential
decay time fit in a region of the decay curve that is dominated by a
single lifetime component reduces the sensitivity to changes in the gas
oxygen concentration for YAG:Tm;Li. Moreover, YAG:Tm;Li performs better
than YAG:Dy in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), with a peak signal
value and SNR almost an order of magnitude higher. With an appropriate
decay curve fitting procedure, the effects of oxygen quenching can be
minimized, such that the measurement error due to oxygen quenching is
within the measurement precision for both phosphors.
