We have measured the luminescence shifts of the ruby’s R1- and R2-lines and the line of 5D07F0 from Sm2+:SrFCl corresponding to the melting pressure of mercury that is recommended by the AIRAPT task force as an International Practical Pressure Scale (IPPS). The linear coefficients of the pressure dependence of the R1-, R2-lines, and the luminescence line of Sm2+:SrFCl are determined to be 0.3722 ± 0.002, 0.3796 ± 0.002, and 1.123 ± 0.002 nm/GPa, respectively. The results not only put tight constraints on the initial slopes of ruby and Sm2+:SrFCl gauges, but also link the luminescence-based pressure gauges to the more fundamental primary piston gauges.
