Patent ID: 8695430

Claim:
A luminescence-based sensor system, comprising: a transition metal-doped rare earth aluminate (M:REAlO 3 ) sensor, wherein the transition metal has an electron configuration that is one of 3d 3 , 4d 3 , or 5d 3 , and wherein the rare earth is one of Gd, Tb, Dy, Y, Ho, Er, or Tm; a measurement component that receives luminescence illumination from the M:REAlO 3 sensor and measures intensity data associated with the luminescence illumination, wherein the luminescence illumination comprises spin-allowed broadband luminescence; and an analysis component that determines at least one of a temperature or a pressure based at least in part on the measured intensity data, wherein the analysis component determines the at least one of the temperature or the pressure based at least in part on a decay time of a spin-allowed broadband portion of the measured intensity data.
