Abstract
The temperature dependence of PL lifetime from an Er doped SiO/sub 2/ sensor with various concentrations have been evaluated in the temperature range 0/spl deg/C to 200/spl deg/C. An Er doped SiO/sub 2/ sensor with Er concentration above 5000 ppm and Al/Er=15 is considered to be suitable for the fiber-optic thermometer. The PL lifetimes of the Er doped SiO/sub 2/ sensor decrease from 10 ms to 8.6 ms at temperatures from 0/spl deg/C to 200/spl deg/C. An Er doped SiO/sub 2/ sensor is considered to be potentially useful for a fiber-optic fluorescence thermometer.
