Broadband Near-Infrared Luminescence in Garnet Y3Ga3MgSiO12: Cr3+ Phosphors.

Broadband near-infrared (NIR) phosphors are the critical component of phosphor converted NIR light-emitting diode (LED) light sources. However, there are still a lack of NIR phosphors with excellent external quantum efficiency (EQE) and thermal stability. Here, we report a highly efficient broadband NIR phosphor Y3Ga3MgSiO12: Cr3+. The optimized phosphor yields an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and an EQE of 79.9 and 33.7%, respectively. The integrated emission intensity still remains at 84.4% of that at room temperature when heated to 423 K. A broadband NIR LED lamp was made by combining as-prepared phosphor and a blue InGaN LED chip, which shows an output power of 89.8 mW with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 17.1% driven at 525 mW input power. Our research provides a promising NIR phosphor with high efficiency broadband for the NIR light source.
