“…59,63 The increase of temperature will intensify the EPC effect, leading to a reduction of energy transferred from Cr 3+ to Yb 3+ , resulting in the decrease of the Yb 3+ SWIR luminescence. Significantly, it can be found that the integrated SWIR emission intensity of the KYbP 2 O 7 :0.01Cr 3+ phosphor at 120 °C retains 55.6% of the room temperature SWIR luminescence intensity, which is better than those of most of the other AMP 2 O 7 compounds (for example, ∼30%@120 °C in LiScP 2 O 7 :Cr 3+ , 51%@100 °C in LiGaP 2 O 7 :Cr 3+ , 47.5%@100 °C in NaInP 2 O 7 :Cr 3+ , and 47%@100 °C in LiInP 2 O 7 :Cr 3+ ), 38,64–66 suggesting that the phosphor has a fairly good luminescence thermal stability. Furthermore, as can be seen from Fig.…”
