Abstract
Recently, short-wave infrared (SWIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) have garnered increased attention due to their widespread applications in night vision, biological imaging, and non-destructive testing. Nevertheless, the currently used SWIR phosphors suffer from poor thermal stability and low quantum efficiency. In this study, a finely tuned spinel-based solid solution, Mg0.5Zn0.5Ga2O4, is prepared to host Ni2+ to induce SWIR emission. Cr3+ is codoped as a sensitizer to bridge Cr3+ and Ni2+ ions, significantly enhancing blue light absorption and facilitating energy transfer (ET) to Ni2+ ions. The champion SWIR phosphor exhibits a broadband emission centered at 1304 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 250 nm, achieving a near-unity internal quantum efficiency (IQE = 97.7%) and a good thermal stability (70.7%@423 K). The fabricated SWIR pc-LED device delivers a high SWIR output power of 39.9 mW at 360 mA, enabling its application in non-destructive imaging and testing.
