LuF₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ microcrystals codoped with Yb³⁺ n_YB³⁺/n_Lu³⁺=5%~15%) and Er³⁺ ions (n_Er³⁺/n_Lu³⁺=1%~5%) were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process at different pH values. It is found that the pH value has a crucial effect on synthesis of the orthorhombic phase LuF₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺. Under 980 nm excitation, LuF₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ phosphors exhibit strong green upconversion (UC) emission bands centered at 523 (²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2) and 539 nm (⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2) and weak red emissions near 660 nm (⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2). The optimum doping concentrations of Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ for the highest emission intensity were determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence (PL) analyses. Concentration dependent studies reveal that the optimal composition is 10% Yb³⁺ and 2% Er³⁺ co-doping concen-tration with a strong green emission. A possible UC mechanism for LuF₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ depends on the pump power is discussed. The temperature dependence of the fluorescence intensity ratios (FIR) for the two green UC emission bands peaked at 523 and 539 nm was studied in the range of 293~573 K under excitation by a 980 nm diode laser and the maximum sensitivity was approximately 15.3×10^-4 K^-1 at 490 K. This indicates that LuF₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ phosphors are potential candidates for optical temperature sensors with high sensitivity.
