Abstract

Efficient white-emitting phosphor-in-glass (PiG) was successfully synthesized by synergistic complexation of Ce3+-doped YAG phosphor and Eu3+-doped sodium calcium silicate glass. The crystalline phosphor was obtained via sol-gel route using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), whereas glasses were prepared by melting-quenching method. Rare-earth ions were successfully incorporated into the YAG and glass host lattices without changing their original structures. Through adjusting the Eu3+-doped glass and Ce3+:YAG phosphorus contents in the PiG, it was possible to optimize the chromaticity emission from yellow-green to orange-red in CIE 1931 diagram. Combination of a violet LED and samples emissions, allowed to achieve the chromaticity parameters closer to an ideal white light source [CIE-(0.33, 0.33); CCT 5000K]. Moreover, adjusting the luminescence intensity ratio between the LED and the PiG emission provides a tuning route for smart white light devices.
