Cryogenic detection technology is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness in fields such as medical refrigeration, cold chain transport, and cryogenic bioengineering. In this paper, a time-responsive visual cryogenic detection strategy is developed based on the storage properties of CaZnOS: Pb, Pr phosphors with shallow traps. Since the carrier release rate from the trap center receives the influence of ambient temperature and storage time, the storage time of the temperature-sensitive product can be determined by the different optical signals of CaZnOS: Pb, Pr phosphors obtained under 980 nm laser irradiation. In addition, CaZnOS: Pb, Pr phosphors with multimode luminescence enable time-responsive visual detection of ambient temperature under extreme conditions. This work not only demonstrates the potential of CaZnOS: Pb, Pr phosphors for visual detection of temperature and time but also paves the way for the development of various applications relying on cryogenic monitoring.
