Broad-spectrum terbium-containing garnet phosphors and white-light sources incorporating the same
A rare earth-activated terbium-containing garnet phosphor is capable of absorbing radiation in the range from near UV to blue and emitting a broad spectrum of visible light in the range from about 490 nm to about 770 nm. The emission of the phosphor under an excitation at 450 nm exhibits a peak in the range of maximum sensitivity of the human eye. A light source combining a UV/blue LED and this phosphor can provide a white light that is on or near the Planckian locus and may be useful for general illumination.
