Diamond anvil cell (DAC) technique relies on pressure determination based on use of pressure gauges. Fluorescence-based gauges, such as ruby and Sm doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Sm:YAG), are frequently used in the high pressure research. Here we present the results of DAC experiments which allowed extending calibration curves of the fluorescence frequency versus pressure up to 120 GPa at high temperatures up to 700 K for both for ruby and Sm:YAG. Cubic boron nitride was used as the reference gauge.
