The purpose of this study was to develop and predict the properties of a single-phase crystalline phosphor with an extended range of temperature sensitivity. The luminophors ZnS /times/ CdS mentioned above were used as a matrix to synthesize a luminophor of the new type. Substances exhibiting a different temperature dependence - Ag and Eu - were chosen for activation. The choice of the composition of the base made it possible to rely on the fact that the emission bands of both activators will mutually overlap and that a spectrally uniform crystalline phosphor will be obtained. It was shown that the dynamic range of the power density of the recorded IR radiation can be substantially expanded (up to 30). The receiving luminescent screen is made of a single-phase crystalline phosphor ZnS /times/ CdS with Ag, Eu, and Ni with thermal extinction of both centers of luminescence in different temperature regions, making it possible to obtain a series of screens with well-reproducible characteristics.
