When the microspheres where pumped under 457 nm laser excitation, Pr3+ typical emission was observed as well as emission due to a Down Conversion (DC) process from Pr3+ to Yb3+ ions. Furthermore, whispering gallery modes (WGM) peaks superimposed to the Pr3+ and DC emission bands were observed. The microsphere was calibrated as a function of temperature using the intensity ratio of the 925 and 875 nm Pr3+ bands and the spectral red-shift from the WGM. Temperature uncertainty was obtained from both techniques obtaining values of 0.7 K and 0.4 K for the band ratio and WGM results, respectively.
