[Study of reference material for excitation spectrum wavelength calibration of fluorescence spectrophotometer].

A reference material used for wavelength calibration of fluorescence spectrophotometer was found. The holmium doped oxide reference material GBW(E) 130112 is a kind of standard reference material for absorption spectrophotometer. It can emit 547.7 nm fluorescence when excited by xenon lamp light. The excitation spectrum of 547.7 nm fluorescence was measured. It was found that the measured peaks of excitation spectrum are positioned at 333.56, 360.43 and 418.39 nm, respectively, which are coincident with the true values 333.8, 360.9 and 418.5 nm of reference material certification. It was illustrated that the holmium doped oxide reference material GBW(E)130112 could be used as reference material for the excitation wavelength calibration of the fluorescence spectrophotometer. Its property could be enhanced very much if high luminescent efficiency material is selected as rare earth ion doped matrix, and the purity is enhanced to reduce the cross relaxation.
