(2012) Optical Materials, 34 (8) , pp. 1447-1450.0925-3467http://hdl.handle.net/10115/12376We 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.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/MaterialesFluorescenceThermochromismArrheniusEuropiumSensorsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1016/j.optmat.2012.02.047info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess3307 Tecnología Electrónica
