Resumen
We report on a new thermochromic material containing a europium complex for thermal sensing
through its fluorescence response to temperature. The ratio between the strong luminescence peak of
europium (III) and a side band emission is employed as a new probe for optical sensing of temperature.
The ratio is observed to follow an Arrhenius-type dependence with temperature. Based on these results
we developed a thermal probe based on a segment of luminescent thermometer optically cemented to
the tip of a PMMA fibre.
