N2 - In the last decade much attention has been paid to the development of novel approaches in luminescence thermometry, which could allow contactless and noninvasive temperature sensing when traditional thermometers are useless. Typically, an optical thermometer exploits a distinct luminescence parameter to define temperature. However, the use of multimode sensors can significantly broaden the working range and improve the reliability of the temperature measurements. In this work, a Eu3+-doped LaVO4 sample was successfully utilized as a thermal sensor within a wide temperature range of 98–723 K based on monitoring various temperature-sensitive luminescence features. Different thermal sensing strategies were assessed and compared in terms of thermal sensitivity and temperature resolution. The best thermometric performances of the Eu3+-doped LaVO4 sensor reached an Sr = 1.49% K−1 and a ΔT = 0.6 K at room temperature. All the studies performed showed that the LaVO4:Eu3+ phosphor is a prospective multimode optical thermometer.
