Upconversion luminescence of transition metal ions is an effective route to expand the spectral region of rare earth ions.In this work,Yb3+/Er3+/Mn4+-doped CaGdAlO4 pure-phase phosphors were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state method.Under 980nm laser excitation,the CaGdAlO4∶Yb0.1,Er0.01,Mn0.003 phosphor exhibited optimal upconversion luminescence performance.In the room-temperature emission spectra,the emission peaks at 528,550,663 and 710nm could be attributed to the 2H11/2→4I15/2(Er3+),4S3/2→4I15/2(Er3+),4F9/2→4I15/2(Er3+) and the 2E→4A2(Mn4+) transitions,respectively,all of which were two-photon absorption process.For Er3+ ions single-emitting centers,based on fluorescence intensity ratio of the R528/550 parameters,it was observed that the relative sensitivities SR-528/550 monotonically decreased from 0.95×10-2K-1 (at 300K) to 0.27×10-2K-1 (at 573K) in the temperature range from 300 to 573K.For both Er3+ and Mn4+ ions dual-emitting centers,based on fluorescence intensity ratio of the FIR710/663 parameters,it could be found that the relative sensitivities SR-710/663 increased first from 0.37×10-2K-1(at 300K) to 2.08×10-2K-1 (at 418K) and then decreased to 1.35×10-2K-1 (at 573K).Furthermore,the SR-710/663 increased nearly 4 times compared with SR-528/550 when the temperature was about 420K.These results demonstrated that CaGdAlO4∶Yb0.1,Er0.01,Mn0.003 phosphors had potential applications in the field of bi-probe optical temperature sensing.
