Near infrared-to-green upconverted emissions of Er3+-doped Y2O2SO4yttrium oxysulfate nanophosphor have been studied exciting the sample with a 975 nm laser radiation. Temporal dynamics of the green emission indicates that the main mechanism responsible for the upconversion processes is energy transfer between Er3+ions. The relative intensities of the near infrared-to-green upconverted emissions from the2H11/2and4S3/2thermalized levels to the4I15/2ground state have been calibrated as a function of temperature in order to develop an optical temperature sensor both in the biological range, from 295 up to 330 K, and in the industrial application range up to 475 K. The temperature scale obtained shows a relative sensitivity with temperature of 1.1 %K−1at 300 K, and an absolute temperature sensitivity of 73 × 10−4K−1at 467 K. These results suggest that the Er3+-doped yttrium oxysulfate can be used as an optical temperature sensor by exciting in the infrared range for biomedicine and industrial applications.
