Abstract: Thermal properties of luminescence in bismuth/erbium co-doped optical fibre (BEDF) have been investigated. In particular, the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) characteristics with regard to Er3+ and aluminum-related bismuth active center (BAC-Al) is studied. Similar thermal characteristics of FIR to that reported in erbium-doped optical fibre (EDF) is observed. The results demonstrate that BEDF may also be used for FIR related temperature sensing applications.
