There is a challenge for noncontact temperature-sensing techniques and the related materials, in which a highly reliable contactless thermometer probe with low cost and high sensitivity is in demand. Here, the Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+/Mn4+ phosphor has been designed and prepared for the high-performance fluorescence temperature-sensing application in a novel one-pot, self-redox, solid-state process. Benefiting from the different electron–lattice/phonon interactions of Ce3+ and Mn4+, two distinguishable emission peaks with significantly different temperature responses originating from Ce3+ and Mn4+ are realized. Applying the fluorescence intensity ratio of Mn4+ versus Ce3+ and the decay lifetime of Mn4+ emission as the temperature readout, a dual-mode optical temperature-sensing mechanism was proposed and studied in the temperature range of 100–350 K. The maximum relative sensitivities (Sr) are derived as 4.37 and 3.22% K–1 respectively, as well as a large chromaticity shift visible to naked eyes (ΔE = 153 × 10–3 in 100–350 K) is observed. This is the first report of a Ce3+,Mn4+ co-doped dual-emitting phosphor, and its unique optical thermometric features demonstrate the high potential of Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+/Mn4+ as an accurate and reliable thermometer probe candidate.

The rational and delicate synthesis of Mn4+ activated red-emitting oxide phosphors with high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and photo-stability for developing high-quality w-LEDs still remains a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a simultaneous ion co-substitution design strategy to synthesize a red-emitting Lu3Al5O12:Mn4+,Mg2+ garnet phosphor delicately with the assistance of MgF2. The Mn4+ activated garnet phosphor exhibits superior moisture resistance properties and high PLQY (ca. 72.41%), which emits a bright and narrow-band red light peaking at ∼670 nm due to the 2E–4A2 spin-forbidden transition of Mn4+ upon UV excitation. Remarkably, MgF2 as a charge compensator & flux can not only accelerate the solid state reaction, but also greatly improve the emission intensity. Furthermore, by employing the as-prepared Lu3Al5O12:Mn4+,Mg2+ as a red component, we fabricate a warm w-LED with a high color rendering index (Ra = 81.4) and low color temperature (CCT = 4766 K) based on a UV chip and commercial blue and yellow phosphors.

Cr and Nd co-doped laser ceramics, as the potential gain materials in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), have been widely investigated. And the study on valence states of chromium ions is important. The effects of sintering additives and annealing atmosphere on the valence state of chromium were studied in detail, and the results shown that the Cr valence states were demonstrated to be Cr 2+ and Cr 3+ ions in HIP-sintered Cr(0.2 at.%), Nd(0.8 at.%): LuAG laser ceramics. And the intensity of the near-infrared absorption band caused by Cr 2+ ions was attenuated with the decreasing SiO 2 concentration and increasing MgO amount. The near-infrared absorption could be eliminated by annealing in air. And the transformation of valence states of Cr ions in the Cr,Nd:LuAG ceramics were also confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Transparent Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 (LuAG) ceramics have become very promising phosphor matrix materials due to their high doping concentration and luminous efficiency, thermal conductivity and thermal stability. However, LuAG transparent ceramics prepared by traditional powder sintering method are facing several problems, such as time-consuming and energy-consuming, complex preparation process, high quality of raw material powders and large crystalline grain size. Here we report facile elaboration of transparent LuAG-Al 2 O 3 two-phase nanocrystalline ceramics through pressureless crystallization (1000 °C, 2 h) of 72 mol.% Al 2 O 3 -28 mol.% Lu 2 O 3 (ALu28) bulk glasses combined with the crystallization kinetics analysis. The results of the crystallization kinetics analysis show that the ALu28 bulk glasses have a low activation energy (<750 kJ mol −1 ) and a crystallization mechanism of three-dimensional crystal growth mode accompanied by volume nucleation. The resulting LuAG-Al 2 O 3 ceramics with nanosized grains and dense three-dimensional network nanostructures present good transmittance (80.6 %@780 nm) and excellent mechanical properties (hardness is 24 GPa).

Laser diode (LD) driven lighting is expected to be the next-generation lighting, and red CaAlSiN3:Eu2+ (CASN) phosphor is still required for high-quality LD white lighting. Utilizing glass with a suitable thermal expansion coefficient and low softening temperature as the inorganic binder, CASN phosphor-in-glass-films (PiFs) are fabricated in this work. High efficiency and thermal stability are achieved by optimizing the reaction of CASN and glass. Introducing Lu3Al5O12:Ce (LuAG) to offset the luminous spectra of CASN PiFs, broad emission spectra and high efficiency are recorded. High color rendering index (CRI, 88.6), luminous efficiency (LE, 153 lm W−1), and luminous flux (LF, 1162 lm) are achieved simultaneously when the PiFs are excited by a 455 nm blue LD. At last, the high color quality LD white lighting produced by PiFs is displayed for the first time. We believe that the results provided by this work are an enormous progress for PiFs and encourage more researchers to provide new strategies to acquire high performance of PiFs in white LD lighting.

Garnet transparent ceramics are promising color converters for white laser diodes (LDs) because of their efficient broadband emission and favorable thermal properties. Herein, composite color converters were prepared by integrating the Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce 3+ (LuAG:Ce) transparent ceramics with h-BN modified Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 O 18 : Eu 2+ (MAS:Eu) phosphor-in-glass films (PiGFs). Under 450 nm excitation, the LuAG: Ce-BN-MAS:Eu composites exhibit broad emission bands ranging from 480 to 720 nm, and the relative Eu 2+ /Ce 3+ emission intensity ratio rises with increasing h-BN content. The optimized LuAG:Ce-2BN-MAS:3Eu sample shows the highest emission intensity, with an internal quantum efficiency of 92.46% and an external quantum efficiency of 42.83%. In addition, the emission intensity at 150 °C retains 94.56% of that at room temperature. Under blue-laser irradiation at 12.5 W∙mm -2 , the steady-state temperature of light spot remains below 76.7 °C. The constructed laser-driven lighting device exhibits a luminous efficacy of 83.45 lm∙W -1 , a correlated color temperature of 6103 K and a Ra of 85.8. These results indicate that the LuAG:Ce-BN-MAS:Eu composites exhibit great potential for high-color-rendering white LDs.

Using blue lasers to excite green-emitting phosphors offers a compelling solution to address the “green gap” issue, providing a high-brightness green light source for underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC). However, current green-emitting phosphors show poor light conversion efficiencies or inadequate luminance saturation thresholds, impeding the development of brighter green light sources. Herein, the porous Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce phosphor ceramics are designed, which shows no change in quantum efficiency (82%) even after 6000 h of extended aging. This design results in a substantial improvement in light conversion efficiency (61.6%), luminous efficacy (286 lm·W⁻¹), and an exceptional luminance saturation threshold of 33 W·mm⁻ 2 , culminating in a maximum green light flux of 4720 lm. Moreover, the high-directionality green light source device has been fabricated that achieves an illuminance of 6081 lx at a distance of 10 meters (15.0 W blue laser irradiation) with the electro-optical conversion efficiency up to 26.3%, much higher than that using green laser directly (usually <20%). This setup enables long-range underwater transmission of 65.3 meters with a peak data rate of 3.45 MHz, opening up new avenues for innovative advancements in UWOC technology.
