Abstract
Rare earth Er³⁺ mono-doped upconverted sodium crystals were prepared, and the effects of the doping and the reaction time
on the structure, morphology and luminescence properties of the materials were investigated, and then these conditions
were optimized. The NaYF4: x%Er3+ has a hexagonal crystalline phase with homogeneous morphology. Under 980 nm
excitation (with a power of 2.0W) the optimal rare-earth-element doping ratio of NaYF4: 2%Er3+ has a good emission
spectrum with color coordinates (0.34, 0.56). The phosphor-dependent luminescence spectra were measured, and the
fluorescence intensity ratio(FIR) of its optical thermometer was calculated and fitted [1]. This experimental result lays the
foundation for the field of temperature probing of the upconversion luminescence.
