Abstract
In this study, we proposed a blue-excitable and near-infrared (NIR) emission ceramic phosphor - Gd3Ga5O12:Cr3+, Nd3+ (GGO:Cr, Nd) by a solid-state reaction for light-emitting diode applications. The as-synthesized Gd3Ga4.95Cr0.05O12 phosphor displayed a broad emission peak at 759 nm (4T2 → 4A2) with a full-width-half-maximum of 122 nm under 460 nm excitation. In order to generate NIR, we introduced Nd3+ ions as activators to substitute Gd3+ ions in GGO:Cr3+ phosphors. Via energy transfer from Cr3+ ions to Nd3+ ions in GGO, an intense NIR emission at 1064 nm resulting from 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 is demonstrated. Furthermore, we investigate the doping effects at various concentrations and reanalyzed the luminescent characteristics of (Gd1-yNdy)3(Ga1-xCrx)5O12 phosphors to determine the optimal doping concentration of Cr and Ni, which were found to be 1 mol.% and 3 mol.%, respectively. Finally, we mix the composition-optimized (Gd0.97Nd0.03)3(Ga0.99Cr0.01)5O12 NIR-emission phosphor with silica-based glass powder. After cold pressing and high-temperature sintering using molds, we obtain NIR-emitting glass-ceramic phosphors through laser cutting technology and packaged them into high-power light-emitting diodes.
