Nanomaterials-based photoluminescence thermometry (PLT) is a new contact-free photonic approach for temperature sensing
important for applications ranging from quantum technology to biomedical imaging and diagnostics. Even though numerous new materials have been explored
great challenges and deficiencies remain that hamper many applications. In contrast to most of the existing approaches that use large ensembles of rare-earth-doped nanomaterials with large volumes and unavoidable inhomogeneity
we demonstrate the ultimate size reduction and simplicity of PLT by using only a single erbium-chloride-silicate (ECS) nanowire. Importantly
we propose and demonstrate a novel strategy that contains a self-optimization or "smart" procedure to automatically identify the best PL intensity ratio for temperature sensing. The automated procedure is used to self-optimize key sensing metrics
such as sensitivity
precision
or resolution to achieve an all-around superior PLT including several record-setting metrics including the first sensitivity exceeding 100% K
−1
(~138% K
−1
)
the highest resolution of 0.01 K
and the largest range of sensible temperatures 4–500 K operating completely within 1500–1800 nm (an important biological window). The high-quality ECS nanowire enables the use of well-resolved Stark-sublevels to construct a series of PL intensity ratios for optimization in infrared
allowing the completely Boltzmann-based sensing at cryogenic temperature for the first time. Our single-nanowire PLT and the proposed optimization strategy overcome many existing challenges and could fundamentally impact PL nano-thermometry and related applications such as single-cell thermometry.
