Fabrication of LuAG:Ce(3+) Ceramic Phosphors Prepared with Nanophosphors Synthesized by a Sol-Gel-Combustion Method

The aim of this study was to investigate properties of ceramic phosphors fabricated using nano Lu(3)Al(5)O(12):Ce(3+) phosphors produced with a sol-gel-combustion method. These nano Lu(3)Al(5)O(12):Ce(3+) phosphors had a size of about 200 nm, leading to high density when fabricated as a ceramic phosphor. We manufactured ceramic phosphors through vacuum sintering. Alumina powder was added to improve properties. We mounted the manufactured ceramic phosphor in a high-power laser beam projector and drove it to determine its optical performance. Ceramic phosphor manufactured according to our route will have a significant impact on the laser-driven lighting industry.
