Optical thermometers are advantageous for temperature measurement in electromagnetic fields and aggressive environments; however, their composition mostly relies on materials doped with expensive and resource-limited rare earth ions.
In this article, we describe the application of calcium aluminate doped with transition metal ions (Mn2+ and Cr3+) in optical thermometry, employing optical fibres for signal transmission. Upon excitation with 450 nm laser diode radiation, changes in the luminescence of Mn2+ ions in the 500–550 nm band are followed along with changes in the Cr3+ band at 750–800 nm.
The application has been tested in the temperature range from 20 °C to 800 °C. The temperature dependence of Cr3+ luminescence encompasses the high-temperature range, whereas the luminescence band of Mn2+ ions gives an increase in the total intensity and provides a more consistent change in the range from 400 °C to 550 °C.
