Rare-earth doped solid-state phosphor with temperature induced variable chromaticity
Temperature induced variable chromaticity lanthanide multidoped solid-state phosphors are presented. The phosphors are composed of ytterbium-sensitized multiple-doped (Tm, Er, Ho) PbGeO 3–PbF 2–CdF 2 glass excited at 1.064 µm. The temperature induced color variation exploits the heat enhanced effect...

Summary: | Temperature induced variable chromaticity lanthanide multidoped solid-state phosphors are presented. The phosphors are composed of ytterbium-sensitized multiple-doped (Tm, Er, Ho) PbGeO

µm. The temperature induced color variation exploits the heat enhanced effective absorption cross-section of the ytterbium sensitizer under quasi-resonance excitation. The temperature enhancement of the energy-transfer mechanism between the sensitizer and the appropriate active light emitter allows the selective intensity control of the RGB emissions due to distinct excitation routes. The suitable combination of active ions generated variable chromaticity light with CIE-1931 coordinates changing from CIE-
