    Main Methods:

    • Measuring the oxygen dependence of phosphorescence lifetime.
    • Employing phosphorescence quenching as the core principle for oxygen detection.
    • Developing an optical setup for phosphorescence lifetime measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that oxygen-dependent phosphorescence quenching is a sensitive and precise measure of oxygen concentration.
    • Showcased an optical oxygen measurement method that is easily calibrated.
    • Observed that calibration stability can extend for months to years under specific experimental conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed optical method based on phosphorescence quenching shows significant promise for oxygen sensing.
    • The technique offers advantages in sensitivity, precision, and long-term calibration stability.
    • Further development is ongoing to fully realize the potential of this oxygen measurement approach.
