Abstract
We demonstrate that using a narrow line-width green phosphor with the peak wavelength closely aligned with the peak in the human eye sensitivity significantly improves the Luminous Efficacy of Radiation (LER) for Red-Green-Blue (RGB) emitters. Compared to the traditional RGB sources, the improvement in LER of 20 lm/W can be achieved. Combining the narrow band green phosphor with conventional wide band red and blue phosphors allows for trading off these improvements against the deviation from the Planckian locus for even higher LER. The light sources with the narrow line green phosphor are particularly promising for high energy efficiency and high intensity illumination, where somewhat compromises can be made in the color quality such as in automotive, outdoor spaces, industrial ware-houses, public places (train stations, airports) etc..
