Abstract

Ceramic phosphors are widely considered the next-generation phosphor material for white LED/LD lighting, and a wide spectrum is a key factor in improving the CRI of lighting sources. In this paper, a novel, to our knowledge, barcode-structured YAG:Ce/YAG:Ce,Mn ceramic phosphor was designed and fabricated. The lighting sources with the CRI value of 73.5 and 68.9 were obtained under the excitation of blue LEDs and blue LDs, respectively. Simultaneously, thanks to the effective supplementary emission from a red LD, the CRI of the ceramic-based lighting source reached 81.8 under blue LD excitation. Specifically, the microstructure and luminescent property of ceramic phosphors with different thicknesses and ion doping concentrations were systematically studied. Besides, by changing the blue power from 0.52 W to 2.60 W, the CCT of the laser lighting source with the encapsulation of optimized YAG:Ce/YAG:Ce,Mn ceramic phosphors ranged from 3928 K to 5895 K, while the CRI always maintained above 80. The above results indicate that barcode-structured Ce:YAG/Ce,MnYAG ceramic phosphor is a candidate to achieve a high CRI and ican be applied to various lighting occasions.
