Er-Doped Sapphire Fibre Temperature Sensors Using Upconversion Emission

We report the production of Er:Al 2 O 3 and Er:Yb:Al 2 O 3 fibres using the LHPG method for application as fibre temperature sensors. Intense upconversion emission in the blue, green and red was observed from these fibres when pumped with a laser diode at 965nm. The lifetime and the integrated inten...
