摘要

Abstract

Broadband near-infrared (NI

R)-emitting phosphors are key for next-generation smart NIR light sources based on blue LEDs. To achieve excellent NIR phosphors

we propose a strategy of enhancing the crystallinity

modifying the micromorphology

and maintaining the valence state of Cr

in Ca

garnet (CSSG). By adding fluxes and sintering in a reducing atmosphere

the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) is greatly enhanced to 92.3%. The optimized CSSG:6%Cr

exhibits excellent thermal stability. At 150 ℃

97.4% of the NIR emission at room temperature can be maintained. The fabricated NIR-LED device emits a high optical power of 109.9 mW at 520 mA. The performances of both the achieved phosphor and the NIR-LED are almost the best results until now. The mechanism for the optimization is investigated. An application of the NIR-LED light source is demonstrated.
