The remote and non-invasive optical thermometer exploiting fluorescence intensity ratio technology is of great importance in various intelligent optoelectronic sensors. Dual-emitting YNbO 4 :Bi3+, Eu3+ phosphor is synthesized and investigated for the development of temperature sensing materials. The phosphor excited at 318 nm shows a blue broad band emission and several red sharp peaks. The value of Bi3+→Eu3+ energy transfer can reach 98.2% when Eu3+ doping content is 0.14. Benefiting from diverse thermal response behaviors due to Bi3+ and Eu3+ ions completely different electronic configurations, a dual-emitting optical thermometer is designed. The maximum values of absolute and relative sensitivities are as high as 2.51% K−1 at 473 K and 1.43% K−1 at 423 K, respectively. The thermochromic phosphor possesses a great chromaticity shift (ΔE = 317×10−3) with temperature. Based on superior color discriminability, visual colorimetry temperature measurement relied on thermal characteristic is proposed. All the results demonstrate that YNbO 4 :0.01Bi3+, 0.005Eu3+ phosphor as a sensitive and reliable optical thermometer has great potentials in temperature measurement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
