We are pleased to announce the publication of the latest scientific paper entitled "Spectro-Temporal Ratiometric Strategy for Thermally Invariant Optical Manometry" in the prestigious Advanced Materials journal (IF: 26.8).

The publication concerns the development of a thermally independent method of optical pressure measurement, which significantly exceeds the sensitivity of classic luminescent manometers. The proposed solution represents a major advance in the field of optical manometry, eliminating the problem of temperature drift, a major limitation of previously used methods.

The publication's authors include scientists from the Department of Rare Earths of the Faculty of Chemistry: Prof. Marcin Runowski and Dr Przemysław Woźny.

The project was carried out in international cooperation with research teams from:

  • The Institute of Low Temperature and Structural Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Wrocław,
  • China University of Geosciences,
  • Xiamen University,
  • Qinghai University.

The study presents a new concept of temperature-resistant optical manometry, combining ratiometric spectral analysis with time-resolved detection for the first time. Such an approach effectively separates the effects of pressure and temperature on the luminescent properties of Cr³⁺ ions in Y₃In₂Ga₃O₁₂ crystals, overcoming the fundamental limitations of traditional manometers based on a single measurement parameter.

Congratulations to the authors, and we encourage you to read the publication.
