LiNbO3:Yb3+ crystals for optical temperature sensors

  • 1. Yerevan State University, Yerevan (Armenia)

Description

Possibilities of using lithium niobate crystals, doped with ytterbium (LN:Yb3+ ) as materials for optical temperature sensor (OTS) are discussed. We consider both the radiative and absorptive characteristics of the crystals, assuming that their temperature dependences are caused by the Boltzmann factor of the initial population of Stark sublevels of the ion. It is shown that the crystals can be used as materials for OTS in the temperature range of 150-400K
