Luminescent materials are the main focus of non-contact thermometers due to their high detection sensitivity, non-invasiveness, quick reaction, exceptional stability. It is still difficult to design high sensitivity optical temperature sensors using FIR technology. This article increases FIR value and obtains high sensitivity temperature sensitive phosphors by utilizing the anti-thermal-quenching effect of rare earth luminous centers. Sm3+ and alkali metal co-doped CaMoO4 phosphors have been prepared by high-temperature solid-state method. Rietveld XRD refinement results showed that the co-doping of Sm3+ and K+ can significantly improve the energy transfer from the host to Sm3+ and significantly increase the luminous intensity of Sm3+. We found that co-doping of Sm3+ and K+ not only effectively enhanced the luminescence intensity, but also regulated the lifetime of this phosphors. As the Sm3+ and K+ co-doping concentration 0.02, respectively, the τ value decreases from 4.12 to 3.54 ms, which proves to be effective in luminous of LED. The optical temperature measurement of CaMoO4: 0.001Sm3+, 0.001K+ was studied using FIR technology. The maximum SaMAX and SrMAX values are 0.27 K-1 at 483 K and 2.25% K-1 at 363 K, respectively. Moreover, the CaMoO4: 0.02Sm3+, 0.02K+ also has a certain absorption capacity in visible optical drive, which proved by UV-Vis DRS. The electronic density of states of phosphors are drawn via first-principles to understand the effect of Sm3+ and alkali metals co-doped on luminescence. The above results demonstrate that the Sm3+ and K+ co-doping CaMoO4 might be an attractive material for the application of temperature measurement and light-emitting diode.
