Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of laser illumination, in particular to a green light source based on a multifunctional fluorescent ceramic material.

Background

Green light has wide applications in biology, industry, printing, medical treatment, storage, display, military and the like. To obtain a high brightness green light source, there are generally two schemes: the laser device adopts a green light semiconductor laser or combines the green light semiconductor laser and adopts a blue light laser excitation light conversion material. Both relate to the field of laser lighting.

In the first technical scheme, excellent laser spectrum and beam characteristics can be obtained, and high-energy green light output can be obtained. However, green lasers require a higher indium fraction than blue lasers; the main physical changes are induced, so that the lattice constant changes and the band gap is shortened, the light output power is reduced, and the price is high. If the optical output power is improved by adopting the scheme of combining optical fibers, the price and the cost are also improved, and the cost performance is not high. Meanwhile, the green light is laser, can only be used for laser medical treatment or laser projection after expanding the beam, and is not suitable for being applied to the general illumination field.

The second solution has significant advantages. The cost is low, and the process is simple; on the premise of keeping the stable luminescence of the light conversion material, the higher brightness can be obtained only by increasing the power of the blue laser. In recent years, domestic scholars develop the blue-light semiconductor laser following the world trend, the mass production is realized at present, and the cost is further reduced; meanwhile, the research on the light conversion materials in China is continuously expanded, and the mass production can be realized from fluorescent powder to fluorescent glass and then to fluorescent ceramic.

One of the fluorescence conversion schemes is to focus blue light with a lens for transmission to the surface of the fluorescent ceramic and then excite the fluorescent ceramic; the other is that the optical fiber conducts the blue laser light to the surface of the fluorescent ceramic, and then excites the fluorescent ceramic. Compared with the former, the scheme of conducting laser blue light by the optical fiber can separate the excitation source from the emission source, and carry out heat dissipation treatment independently; the relative position of the two can be adjusted at will, and the design flexibility is high. Meanwhile, the optical fiber directly guides out the blue light, and compared with a mode of focusing the blue light on the surface of the ceramic by adopting a lens, the system stability is better. However, the two schemes for fluorescence conversion have the following problems: 1) the optical system is still relatively complex; 2) aiming at the fluorescent ceramic, secondary optical design elements are also needed to be adopted to induce luminescence, and related heat dissipation devices are designed to stabilize the operation of devices. Therefore, the fluorescence conversion green light source needs to be further designed and extended to obtain a high-brightness green light source.
