20140332722 | EMISSIVE CERAMIC MATERIALS HAVING A DOPANT CONCENTRATION GRADIENT AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - Disclosed herein are emissive ceramic materials having a dopant concentration gradient along a thickness of a yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) region. The dopant concentration gradient may include a maximum dopant concentration, a half-maximum dopant concentration, and a slope at or near the half-maximum dopant concentration. The emissive ceramics may, in some embodiments, exhibit high internal quantum efficiencies (IQE). The emissive ceramics may, in some embodiments, include porous regions. Also disclosed herein are methods of make the emissive ceramic by sintering an assembly having doped and non-doped layers. | 11-13-2014 |
20150069299 | Phosphor Ceramics and Methods of Making the Same - Preparation of a porous ceramic composite with a fluoride phosphor is described herein. The phosphor ceramics prepared may be incorporated into devices such as light-emitting devices, lasers, or for other purposes. | 03-12-2015 |
20150076406 | Emissive Compacts and Method of Making the Same - Some phosphor powders can be difficult to form into ceramic compacts because they are difficult to sinter. As described herein, phosphor powders that can degrade under conventional sintering temperatures can be sintered by heating the powder at a lower temperature, such as less than 800° C., while the powder is under greater than atmospheric pressure, such as at least 0.05 GPa. Phosphor ceramic compacts prepared by this method, and light-emitting devices incorporating these phosphor ceramic compacts, are also described. | 03-19-2015 |
