Popis: A BaY2 F8 :Yb3+ ,Ho3+ phosphor was synthesized using a simple precipitation method. The temperature-sensing properties of BaY2 F8 :Yb3+ ,Ho3+ phosphor were investigated using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the thermally coupled energy levels (5 F4 and 5 S2 ) of Ho3+ . Energy transitions 5 F4 →5 I8 and 5 S2 →5 I8 gave rise to emission peaks at 538 nm and 549 nm, respectively. The areas under these two emission peaks were used to calculate the FIR. Temperature-dependent upconversion luminescence was recorded in the temperature range 303-623 K using a 980 nm laser excitation source. The results suggested that the BaY2 F8 :Yb3+ , Ho3+ phosphor has the potential to be used as a non-contact optical temperature sensor.
