Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology offers several advantages, including reduced background fluorescence, deep penetration, and high resolution. It is widely applied in various fields, such as medical diagnosis, treatment, night vision, and quality monitoring. However, current NIR imaging materials are unsuitable for high-temperature applications, such as industrial quality inspection and food safety monitoring. This study introduces the Ba2LaF7: Yb3+, Tm3+ glass-ceramic material designed for high-temperature NIR imaging and precise temperature measurement. The crystallization properties of Ba2LaF7 glass-ceramics (GC) can be controlled by using Yb3+ ions as nucleating agents, which promoted the growth of Ba2LaF7 nanocrystalline and altered the around crystal field environment of RE ions, preventing the quenching of the luminescence concentration of the RE ions. The temperature-sensing performance of Tm3+ between 701 and 808 nm is assessed for the optimized sample, demonstrating a maximum sensitivity of approximately 0.00046 K−1 at 573 K. NIR imaging technology enables the detection of internal structures of various objects in high-temperature environments. This technology holds significant potential for applications in high-temperature quality inspection and related fields.
