CTH:YAG : from laser medium to luminescent concentrator

Abstract

This work presents what we believe is a new way to use a CTH:YAG crystal for spontaneous emission instead of laser emission. The spontaneous emission is collected in one main direction thanks to a luminescent concentrator configuration. The CTH:YAG is indirectly LED-pumped by a Ce:YAG delivering 3.5 ms pulses at 10 Hz with an energy of 2 J in the visible (550-650 nm). In a configuration optimized for light extraction, the CTH:YAG luminescent concentrator provides a broadband emission between 1.8 µm and 2.1 µm with a unique combination of power (1 W) and brightness (21.2 W/cm 2 /sr) that could be useful for short-wave infrared (SWIR) lighting applications.
