What is Ultrafast multi-photon excitation of ScVO$_4$:Bi$^{3+}$ for luminescence thermometry about?

We demonstrate a multi-photon excitation (MPE) scheme for luminescence thermometry using ScVO$_4$:Bi$^{3+}$. MPE is performed using a 37 fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse centred at 800 nm. Log-log plots of the phosphorescence intensity versus excitation power show that the 800 nm MPE of ScVO$_4$:Bi$^{3+}$ involves a 2- and 3-photon absorption process in comparison to a single-photon excitation (SPE) process at 266 nm and 400 nm. Spectroscopic investigation shows that with the 800 nm MPE and 266 nm SPE schemes, the emission spectra of ScVO$_4$:Bi$^{3+}$ are similarly characterized by emissions of the VO$_4^{3-}$ groups and Bi$^{3+}$. The MPE is advantageous to suppress fluorescence which interfere with the phosphorescence signal. We demonstrate this aspect for a ScVO$_4$:Bi$^{3+}$ coating applied on an alumina substrate. The luminescence lifetime is calibrated with temperature over 294-334 K; the MPE scheme has an equally impressive temperature sensitivity (3.4-1.7% / K) and precision (0.2-0.7K) compared to the SPE schemes. The MPE scheme can be applied to a variety of phosphors and is valuable for precise temperature measurements even in applications where isolating interfering backgroun
