Ceramic phosphors are widely considered the next-generation phosphor material for white LED/LD lighting, and a wide spectrum is a key factor in improving the CRI of lighting sources. In this paper, a novel, to our knowledge, barcode-structured YAG:Ce/YAG:Ce,Mn ceramic phosphor was designed and fabricated. The lighting sources with the CRI value of 73.5 and 68.9 were obtained under the excitation of blue LEDs and blue LDs, respectively. Simultaneously, thanks to the effective supplementary emission from a red LD, the CRI of the ceramic-based lighting source reached 81.8 under blue LD excitation. Specifically, the microstructure and luminescent property of ceramic phosphors with different thicknesses and ion doping concentrations were systematically studied. Besides, by changing the blue power from 0.52 W to 2.60 W, the CCT of the laser lighting source with the encapsulation of optimized YAG:Ce/YAG:Ce,Mn ceramic phosphors ranged from 3928 K to 5895 K, while the CRI always maintained above 80. The above results indicate that barcode-structured Ce:YAG/Ce,MnYAG ceramic phosphor is a candidate to achieve a high CRI and ican be applied to various lighting occasions.
BNT (BaO–Nd 2 O 3 –TiO 2 ) system was modified via doping using sol–gel method, and BNST-Mn/PTFE microwave dielectric composite was prepared by mechanical blending. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal dilatometer, and split post-dielectric resonator (SPDR) were used to characterize the microstructure, dielectric properties, and thermal properties of the composite materials. The results indicate that as the amount of ceramic filler supplied grows, the agglomeration of fillers becomes more pronounced. At a filler content of 10 wt%, the dispersion of the filler in the matrix resin is relatively uniform. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the composites increased, and the bonding ability between the two phases diminished with the increase in filler content. When the mass fraction of the ceramic was increased to 70 wt%, the dielectric constant of the composite was 10.92 and the Q·f value was measured at 3584 GHz. At the same time, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the composites reached 23 ppm/°C, which was a good compatibility with the copper foil. Lichtenecker equation, Maxwell–Wagner equation, Jayasundere–Smith equation, and effective medium theory equation (EMT) were used to predict the dielectric constant of the composites. In comparison, the dielectric constant values calculated using the EMT equation were in good agreement with the experimental values, especially at low filling volumes. Also, the simulation results of the thermal expansion coefficient of composite materials using the Lichtenecker equation and its improved form are in good agreement with the experimental values.
