In recent years, the rare earth doped upconversion luminescent materials have been widely used in many fields. In practical applications, we observed that various dopants have distinct effects on different substances to some extent. In this context, we have successfully synthesized a dual-mode-excited Ca3TeO6 double perovskite. After introduce the Yb3+/Er3+ ions pair, the designed phosphor can emit green and red luminescence under 980 nm and 1550 nm excitation, respectively, making it suitable for diverse scientific and technological applications. The potential up-conversion mechanisms driven by different excitation sources have been investigated. Moreover, it was discovered that adjusting the molar ratio of Er3+ and Yb3+ ions enhances the performance of the studied materials, rendering them well-suited for application as a high-quality optical thermometer based on the FIR technique. Our results clearly indicate that Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Ca3TeO6 phosphors allows for multiple optimizations and control of material properties, showcasing great potential for applications in various field.
