ABSTRACT
Y3 Al5 O12Ce3+ (YAGCe3+ ) transparent ceramic phosphors (TCPs) are regarded as the most promising luminescent converter for laser-driven (LD) lighting. High-quality YAGCe3+ TCPs are still urgent for high efficiency LD lighting devices. YAGCe3+ TCPs in a vacuum ambience by using nano-sized raw materials are prepared. Controlling defects by adding nano-sized MgO and SiO2 simultaneously enables a high transmittance nearly 80%. After annealing in air furthermore, the luminous efficiency is enhanced greatly from 106 to 223 lm W-1 , which is the best result reported now for LD lighting. These results demonstrate that the optimizing YAGCe3+ TCPs in a fitting strategy will brighten once again in the next-generation LD lighting. Based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with a cathodoluminescence system, defects and Ce3+ distributions in grains are identified directly for the first time.
