Abstract

The measurement of temperature based on the characteristic lifetime decay in luminescence intensity of dopant ions following excitation is described with illustrations drawn from europium doping in yttria-stabilized zirconia. The method is particularly attractive for making measurements in a temperature gradient, such as those in thermal barrier coatings.
