Problem Statement
- In the prior art literature discussion, it is found that the global ecosystem is off-putting by aggravating energy-demands and consequently, the scientific and industrial interests have been concentrating at seeking after the energy-efficient light sources.
- Further, in spite of intense research in said domain, the polycrystalline inorganic bulk materials that intrinsically emit broadband white-light upon illumination with near-UV sources are very out of ordinary and costlier.
- The present patent invention provides solution of above discussed problem by introducing the Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) in efficient manner.
Technology
- Patent describes a process for synthesizing polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet.
- Further said process describes about the generating broadband white light from polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet, wherein the broadband white light excited with 370nm excitation source, shown in figure1
- The white light emission is obtained intrinsically from the compound without extrinsic doping of any optically active ion.
Key Features/Value Proposition
Technical Perspective:
- Polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet emits near-white light at excitation wavelength ranging from 325 to 390nm, with white-light emission particularly at 370nm.
Industrial Perspective:
- The color-tunability from spectrum respective to cyan-white-blue-green-yellow-orange-red is achieved by varying the excitation wavelength from 280 to 600 nm, efficiently, cost-effective manner.
