We elucidate that the luminescence from Eu3+-doped phosphor excited by the electron collision can be modified on location near the metallic nanoparticles. The Eu3+-doped phosphor was fabricated on the nanoscaled Ag particles ranging of 5 nm to 30 nm diameter. As a result of the cathodoluminescence measurements, the phosphor films on the Ag particles showed up to twofold more than that of an iso...

Generally in a white light-emitting diode (LED), a phosphor slurry is placed around the semiconductor chip or the phosphor is conformally coated over the chip to covert the narrowband, short-wavelength radiation to a broadband white light. Over the past few years, the remote-phosphor method has provided significant improvement in overall system efficiency by reducing the photons absorbed by the...

Red (SrCa)AlSiN3: Eu nitride phosphor with different particle sizes were characterized based on physical and luminescent properties, then packaged into Chip-On-Board (COB) Warm White Light Emitting Diode (LED) modules to investigate the influence of particle size on packaging parameters and optical output of the COB LED devices. The phosphor particle sizes investigated were 10μm, 12μm and 14μm,...

The objective of this study was to understand how optical and thermal performances are impacted in a remote phosphor LED (light-emitting diode) system when the phosphor plate thickness and phosphor concentration change with a fixed amount of a commonly used YAG:Ce phosphor. In the first part of this two-part study, an optical raytracing analysis was carried out to quantify the optical power and...

The Gd2O2S:Tb based phosphor coupled with photodetectors has been widely used in digital x-ray imaging applications. The key issues associated with phosphor film are x-ray absorption and conversion efficiency, spatial resolution, deposition uniformity, and integration with the imaging array. In this article we report on experimental studies of the phosphor film synthesis, deposition, and charac...

The most common phosphor in white LEDs is YAG:Ce; however, low radiant energy produced by this phosphor in the long wavelength (red) portion of the spectrum results in low color rendering (CRI) values, making the white LEDs less acceptable for general illumination. Mixing a suitable red phosphor with YAG:Ce improves CRI. Past studies have shown that when more than one phosphor is used in a conv...

The intrinsic phosphor properties are of significant importance for the performance of phosphor screens used in medical imaging systems. In previous analytical-theoretical and Monte Carlo studies on granular phosphor materials, values of optical properties, and light interaction cross sections were found by fitting to experimental data. These values were then employed for the assessment of phos...

We have successfully demonstrated the enhanced luminous flux and lumen efficiency in white light-emitting diodes by the randomly textured phosphor structure. The textured phosphor structure was fabricated by a simple imprinting technique, which does not need an expensive dry-etching machine or a complex patterned definition. The textured phosphor structure increases luminous flux by 5.4% and 2....

The optical properties of YAG:Ce phosphor were measured by a double-integrating-sphere system and calculated by Mie theory and Monte Carlo ray tracing to provide precise optical characterizations of YAG:Ce phosphor for white light-emitting diode (LED) packaging design. Measurement results showed that the phosphor presents strong absorption for blue light, high reflection for yellow light, and a...

We report on Y3Al5O12: Ce(3+) ceramic phosphor plate (CPP) using nano phosphor for high power laser diode (LD) application for white light in automotive lighting. The prepared CPP shows improved luminous properties as a function of Ce(3+) concentration. The luminous properties of the Y3Al5O12: Ce(3+) CPP nano phosphor are improved when compared to the Y3Al5O12: Ce(3+) CPP with bulk phosphor, an...
