Near-infrared emission due to 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition of Er3+ is relatively broad (70.5 nm) and long-lived (3.7 ms). Also, up-conversion luminescence spectra of Er3+ ions in lead silicate glass have been examined as a function of temperature. The relative intensities of luminescence bands corresponding to 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 transitions of Er3+ were determined with temperature. The fluorescence intensity ratio and temperature sensitivity were calculated. The maximum sensitivity for Er3+ doped lead silicate glass is close to 26.4 × 10−4 K−1 at T = 590 K.}, type={Article}, title={Erbium-doped lead silicate glass for near-infrared emission and temperature-dependent up-conversion applications}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115373/PDF/main.pdf}, keywords={Lead silicate glasses, Er3+ ions, Near-infrared emission: up-conversion process}, }
