Review of Rare-earth Ion Doped Phosphors for White Light Generation | Chapter 5 | New Trends in Physical Science Research Vol. 8

 

The design of phosphor coatings for diode pumped solid state lighting applications is the main topic of this review. On the historical progression of light bulb evolution, a succinct review is given. The suitability of rare-earth doped phosphor materials for the production of white light is discussed. For a number of materials, including crystals and glasses impregnated with rare-earth ions, colour coordinates and colour temperatures are measured. Sm, Dy, Tb, Eu, and Dy ion spectroscopic data under 405 and 375 nm diode laser excitations are presented. Data analysis revealed that the type of dopant ions in the phosphor material and pump wavelength determine whether a phosphor coated diode outputs warm white light, day light, or cold white light. Our research shows that Tb, Eu, or Dy doped halide crystals produce white light when excited by a diode laser. However, Sm, Dy, and Tb-infused glasses produce white or warm white light.
