Luminescence properties of the yellow-emitting (Ca2Lu1-xCe)(ScMg)Si3O12 (CLSM:xCe(3+) x = 0.01-0.15) phosphor are investigated for various Ce3+ concentrations. Different Ce3+ emission sites and energy transfers between them are observed, resulting in a red shift of the emission spectra from 530 to 575 nm with increasing x from 0.01 to 0.15. Combining with blue (460 nm) InGaN LEDs, CLSM:Ce3+ shows excellent performances for phosphor-converted white LEDs with higher color rendering index R-a of 87.4-87.9 and lower color temperature T-C of 5034-5814 K, especially for warm pcWLEDs with a high color rendering (R-a > 80) and a low color temperature (T-C < 4000 K). Thermal quenching behaviors depending on Ce3+ concentrations and temperatures are discussed. Crown Copyright (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ce:YScAG phosphor-converted transparent ceramics with high thermal saturation and weak concentration quenching for LED and LD white lighting

Yukun Li, Zhaohua Luo, Yongfu Liu, Zehua Liu, Svenja Hanson, Hui Lin, Pan Hu, Peng Sun, Jun Jiang

Summary: In the field of high-power white light LEDs/LDs, the main challenge has been obtaining phosphor-converted materials with high thermal stability and high luminous emittance with the proper blue/yellow light ratio. This study proposes the use of (CexY1-x)3(ScyAl1-y)5O12 transparent ceramics to meet this challenge. The addition of Sc3+ regulates the spectra, resulting in blue shifted emission and excitation bands, as well as narrowed full width at half maxima. The prepared Ce:YScAG transparent ceramics exhibit decent thermal quenching performance and high luminous efficiency, making them promising for future high-power LED and LD white lighting applications.
