Enhanced bandwidth of white light communication using nanomaterial phosphors.

ABSTRACT: The bandwidth of white light emitting diodes (WLEDs) is an important factor that affects most of the system performances in visible light communication (VLC). It is mainly limited by the down-conversion phosphors. We propose in this paper to employ nanomaterial phosphors with short fluorescence lifetime and high quantum yield in VLC. The white-emitting device of bandwidth-based lifetime was fabricated by using several kinds of nanophosphors with different fluorescence lifetimes. Moreover, we proposed two theoretical models to analyze the factors that affect bandwidth. Compared with the commercial YAG-based WLEDs, the bandwidth of nanophosphor-based WLEDs can be improved over three times and close to the blue excitation sources. Our study indicates that nanophosphors can become promising fluorescent materials in VLC, and provides a new direction for developing wide-bandwidth VLC systems.

Rare-Earth Free Self-Activated Graphene Quantum Dots and Copper-Cysteamine Phosphors for Enhanced White Light-Emitting-Diodes under Single Excitation.

Project description:Rare-earth (RE) based phosphors are attractive due to their potential applications. However, owing to the resource issue, these kinds of phosphors are expensive and costly. On the contrary, as for phosphor-convert white light-emitting-diodes (pc-WLEDs), a solution-processed tunable warm white emission LED composite is fabricated in this study under single excitation, with both RE free phosphors graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and Copper-Cysteamine (Cu-Cy). By using microwave-assisted wet-chemical method and with graphite as raw material, cold white fluorescence of the GQDs is obtained. Cu-Cy which shows intense photoluminescence in the red region has the structure where both the thio and amine groups connected with copper and forming cysteamine. Warm white light is achieved by mixing the two self-activated RE free phosphors at the weight ratio of 1: 1.7 under the excitation at 365 nm. The designed optimal LED device has the properties of CIE (x, y) = (0.341, 0.327), T = 4436 K, R = 87.9 EQE = 0.31%. The experimental results demonstrate that RE free phosphor(s) excited under a single chip can open up a new avenue to develop much lower device for warm WLEDs.

Enhanced Dy3+ white emission via energy transfer in spherical (Lu,Gd)3Al5O12 garnet phosphors.

Project description:The Dy3+ doped (Lu,Gd)3Al5O12 garnet phosphors with spherical morphology were obtained via homogeneous precipitation method, followed by calcination at 1100?°C. The particle morphology does not change significantly, but can be controlled by adjusting the urea content. The synthesis, structure, luminescent properties of precursor and resultant particles were analyzed by the combined technologies of XRD, FE-SEM, PLE/PL decay behavior. The (Lu0.975Dy0.025)AG phosphors display strong blue and yellow emission at ~481?nm (4F9/2???6H15/2 transition of Dy3+) and ~582?nm 4F9/2???6H13/2 transition of Dy3+), respectively. The phosphors have similar color coordinate and temperature of (~0.33, ~0.34), ~5517?K, respectively, which are closed to the white emission. The particle size and luminescent intensity decreased while the lifetime increased with the urea concentration increasing. The Gd3+ addition does not alter the shape/position of emission peaks, but enhance the blue and yellow emission of Dy3+ owing to the efficient Gd3+???Dy3+ energy transfer. The [(Lu1-xGdx)0.975Dy0.025]3Al5O12 phosphors are expected to be widely used in the lighting and display areas.

Novel rare-earth-free yellow Ca5Zn3.92In0.08(V0.99Ta0.01O4)6 phosphors for dazzling white light-emitting diodes.

Project description:White light-emitting diode (WLED) products currently available on the market are based on the blue LED combined with yellow phosphor approach. However, these WLEDs are still insufficient for general illumination and flat panel display (FPD) applications because of their low color-rendering index (CRI < 75) and high correlated color temperature (CCT = 6000 K). Although near-ultraviolet (UV) LED chips provide more efficient excitation than blue chips, YAG:Ce(3+) phosphors have very weak excitation in the near-UV spectral region. Hence, there is an increasing demand for novel yellow phosphor materials with excitation in the near-UV region. In this work, we report novel self-activated yellow Ca(5)Zn(3.92)In(0.08)(V(0.99)Ta(0.01)O(4))(6) (CZIVT) phosphors that efficiently convert near-UV excitation light into yellow luminescence. The crystal structure and lattice parameters of these CZIVT phosphors are elucidated through Rietveld refinement. Through doping with In(3+) and Ta(5+) ions, the emission intensity is enhanced in the red region, and the Stokes shift is controlled to obtain good color rendition. When a near-UV LED chip is coated with a combination of CZIVT and commercial blue Ba(0.9)Eu(0.1)MgAl(10)O(17) phosphors, a pleasant WLED with a high CRI of 82.51 and a low CCT of 5231 K, which are essential for indoor illumination and FPDs, is achieved.

Reduced graphene oxide enwrapped phosphors for long-term thermally stable phosphor converted white light emitting diodes.

Project description:The long-term instability of the presently available best commercial phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pcLEDs) is the most serious obstacle for the realization of low-cost and energy-saving lighting applications. Emission from pcLEDs starts to degrade after approximately 200?h of operation because of thermal degradation of the phosphors. We propose a new strategy to overcome this thermal degradation problem of phosphors by wrapping the phosphor particles with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Through the rGO wrapping, we have succeeded in controlling the thermal degradation of phosphors and improving the stability of fabricated pcLEDs. We have fabricated pcLEDs with long-term stability that maintain nearly 98% of their initial luminescence emission intensity even after 800?h of continuous operation at 85?°C and 85% relative humidity. The pcLEDs fabricated using SrBaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ phosphor particles wrapped with reduced graphene oxide are thermally stable because of enhanced heat dissipation that prevents the ionization of Eu2+ to Eu3+. We believe that this technique can be applied to other rare-earth doped phosphors for the realization of highly efficient and stable white LEDs.

Spatial Control of 2D Nanomaterial Electronic Properties Using Chiral Light Beams.

Project description:Single-layer two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials exhibit physical and chemical properties which can be dynamically modulated through out-of-plane deformations. Existing methods rely on intricate micromechanical manipulations (e.g., poking, bending, rumpling), hindering their widespread technological implementation. We address this challenge by proposing an all-optical approach that decouples strain engineering from micromechanical complexities. This method leverages the forces generated by chiral light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). The inherent sense of twist of these beams enables the exertion of controlled torques on 2D monolayer materials, inducing tailored strain. This approach offers a contactless and dynamically tunable alternative to existing methods. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate control over the conductivity of graphene transistors using chiral light beams, showcasing the potential of this approach for manipulating properties in future electronic devices. This optical control mechanism holds promise in enabling the reconfiguration of devices through optically patterned strain. It also allows broader utilization of strain engineering in 2D nanomaterials for advanced functionalities in next-generation optoelectronic devices and sensors.

Organic fluorescent dyes supported on activated boron nitride: a promising blue light excited phosphors for high-performance white light-emitting diodes.

Project description:We report an effective and rare-earth free light conversion material synthesized via a facile fabrication route, in which organic fluorescent dyes, i.e. Rhodamine B (RhB) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) are embedded into activated boron nitride (?BN) to form a composite phosphor. The composite phosphor shows highly efficient Förster resonance energy transfer and greatly improved thermal stability, and can emit at broad visible wavelengths of 500-650?nm under the 466?nm blue-light excitation. By packaging of the composite phosphors and a blue light-emitting diode (LED) chip with transparent epoxy resin, white LED with excellent thermal conductivity, current stability and optical performance can be realized, i.e. a thermal conductivity of 0.36?W/mk, a Commission Internationale de 1'Eclairage color coordinates of (0.32, 0.34), and a luminous efficiency of 21.6?lm·W(-1). Our research opens the door toward to the practical long-life organic fluorescent dyes-based white LEDs.

High bandwidth synaptic communication and frequency tracking in human neocortex.

Project description:Neuronal firing, synaptic transmission, and its plasticity form the building blocks for processing and storage of information in the brain. It is unknown whether adult human synapses are more efficient in transferring information between neurons than rodent synapses. To test this, we recorded from connected pairs of pyramidal neurons in acute brain slices of adult human and mouse temporal cortex and probed the dynamical properties of use-dependent plasticity. We found that human synaptic connections were purely depressing and that they recovered three to four times more swiftly from depression than synapses in rodent neocortex. Thereby, during realistic spike trains, the temporal resolution of synaptic information exchange in human synapses substantially surpasses that in mice. Using information theory, we calculate that information transfer between human pyramidal neurons exceeds that of mouse pyramidal neurons by four to nine times, well into the beta and gamma frequency range. In addition, we found that human principal cells tracked fine temporal features, conveyed in received synaptic inputs, at a wider bandwidth than for rodents. Action potential firing probability was reliably phase-locked to input transients up to 1,000 cycles/s because of a steep onset of action potentials in human pyramidal neurons during spike trains, unlike in rodent neurons. Our data show that, in contrast to the widely held views of limited information transfer in rodent depressing synapses, fast recovering synapses of human neurons can actually transfer substantial amounts of information during spike trains. In addition, human pyramidal neurons are equipped to encode high synaptic information content. Thus, adult human cortical microcircuits relay information at a wider bandwidth than rodent microcircuits.

Enhanced blue-light excited cyan-emitting persistent luminescence of BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ phosphors for AC-LEDs via defect modulation

Project description:Alternating current light-emitting diodes (AC-LEDs) have received significant attention from both academia and industry due to their remarkable benefits of more compact volume, cheaper manufacturing cost, greater energy usage efficiency, and longer service life. One of the most significant challenges for AC-LEDs is the flicker effect, which is mainly caused by the unavoidable 5–20 ms dimming time. Aiming to reduce the flicker effect, we designed a series of excellent blue-light excited cyan-emitting persistent luminescence (PersL) phosphors BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ via defect engineering of co-doping Bi3+. Interestingly, we found that co-doping Bi3+ not only effectively enhanced the PersL intensity, but also regulated the PersL lifetime of this phosphors. As the Bi3+ co-doping concentration increases to 0.01, the τ80 value (the time when the PersL intensity decreases to 80% of the initial intensity) increases from 0.24 to 19.61 ms, which proves to be effective in compensating the flicker effect of AC-LEDs. A new method of generating white light emission during the dimming time through adding the blue-light excited cyan PersL phosphor to the original orange-red PersL phosphor was proposed and an AC-LED lamp with a decreased percent flicker of 48.15% was fabricated, which is significantly better than the other currently reported AC-LED devices based on PersL phosphors. These results demonstrate that BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ might be an attractive material for low-flicker AC-LEDs. Efficient blue-light excited cyan-emitting persistent luminescence phosphor BaLu2Al2Ga2SiO12:Ce3+, Bi3+ is designed and synthesized to effectively compensate for the flicker effect of AC LEDs.

Highly efficient frequency conversion with bandwidth compression of quantum light.

Project description:Hybrid quantum networks rely on efficient interfacing of dissimilar quantum nodes, as elements based on parametric downconversion sources, quantum dots, colour centres or atoms are fundamentally different in their frequencies and bandwidths. Although pulse manipulation has been demonstrated in very different systems, to date no interface exists that provides both an efficient bandwidth compression and a substantial frequency translation at the same time. Here we demonstrate an engineered sum-frequency-conversion process in lithium niobate that achieves both goals. We convert pure photons at telecom wavelengths to the visible range while compressing the bandwidth by a factor of 7.47 under preservation of non-classical photon-number statistics. We achieve internal conversion efficiencies of 61.5%, significantly outperforming spectral filtering for bandwidth compression. Our system thus makes the connection between previously incompatible quantum systems as a step towards usable quantum networks.

Enhanced Luminescence of Long-Wavelength Broadband Near-Infrared Germanate Phosphors.

Project description:Long-wavelength broadband near-infrared (NIR) phosphors have attracted considerable interest in the fields of medical cosmetology and organic detection because of their special emission band. Herein, Ca2GeO4(CGO): Cr4+ NIR phosphor, presenting a broadband emission with longer wavelength ranging from 1100 to 1600 nm, has been synthesized. Further, the luminescence intensity and quantum efficiency of Cr4+ could be obviously improved via the energy transfer from Eu3+ to Cr4+. The energy transfer is dominated by the dipole-dipole mechanism, which can be inferred from the spectra and the decay curves. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the potential application, an NIR phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (pc-LED) based on blue chip has been prepared. Consequently, CGO: Eu3+, Cr4+ exhibits proper output power and wider half-width than the NIR LED chip, indicating its great prospect for long-wavelength NIR pc-LED applications.
