A photoluminescent thermometer, based on the transient emission response of a europium-activated calcium sulphide phosphor, is described in detail. This optical thermometry system has special advantages for temperature measurements in microwave and RF fields and potential application in electromagnetically induced clinical hyperthermia. A laboratory system has been constructed which utilises a fibreoptic probe with external diameter 0.8 mm. A system temperature resolution of 0.1 degree C has been achieved in the range 37-47 degrees C.

Europium-activated calcium oxide (CaO: Eu) phosphor shows great potential in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, its luminescent intensity and thermostability still need to be further enhanced. In this work, the photoluminescence property and thermostability of CaO: Eu were improved significantly by codoping a few of Cl ions into it.

Near-infrared (NIR) luminescence materials with broadband emissions are necessary for the development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based light sources. However, most known NIR-emitting materials are limited by their low external quantum efficiency. This work demonstrates how the photoluminescence quantum efficiency of europium-activated calcium oxide (CaO:Eu) NIR phosphor can be significantly improved and stabilized at operating temperatures of LEDs.
