Abstract

We report that non-contact optical temperature sensing can be achieved with the use of heavily Nd3+ doped NaYF4 nanoparticles. The temperature evaluation can be realized either by monitoring the absolute luminescence intensity or by measuring the intensity ratio of the two Stark components of the 4F3/2 multiplet in the Nd3+ ions.
