3: Eu
2+the luminous intensity of red light fluorescent powder is not linearly improve thereupon, but when excitation light power is higher, the luminous intensity of red light fluorescent powder almost no longer raises, and presents the phenomenon of luminescent saturation.
In prior art, a kind of viewpoint is thought, (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+red light fluorescent powder luminescent saturation phenomenon is due to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the light absorption of red light fluorescent powder reaches capacity and causes, i.e. (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the luminescent center Eu of red light fluorescent powder
2+all be fully used, even if increase the luminous power of exciting light again, also there is no more luminescent center Eu

3: Eu
2+the luminous power of red light fluorescent powder close to time saturated, (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the light absorption of red light fluorescent powder is far from reaching capacity.
In prior art, another viewpoint thinks (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the luminescent saturation phenomenon of red light fluorescent powder causes due to thermal effect.Due to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the conversion efficiency of red light fluorescent powder is lower, and the energy of quite a few exciting light has been converted into heat, therefore (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the temperature of red light fluorescent powder is relatively high, easily occurs hot quenching phenomenon.Hot quenching phenomenon is that a kind of temperature along with fluorescent powder rises, the phenomenon of the luminous intensity decline of fluorescent powder.And the reason that hot quenching phenomenon occurs is due to the rising along with temperature, the vibration aggravation of the host lattice of phosphor material powder, makes the radiationless transition probability of the electronics of luminescent center increase, luminescence efficiency is reduced.
But the present inventor utilizes YAG fluorescent powder and (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+red light fluorescent powder remains on same temperature, and utilizes the exciting light of same power to excite, and its result as shown in Figure 2.Fig. 2 is YAG fluorescent powder and (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the luminous intensity of red light fluorescent powder is along with the change curve of temperature variation, and as shown in Figure 2, when temperature is lower than 90 DEG C, the relative luminous intensity of two kinds of fluorescent powder is substantially identical.And when temperature is higher than 90 DEG C, the relative luminous intensity of YAG fluorescent powder on the contrary will lower than (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+the relative luminous intensity of red light fluorescent powder, and along with the rising of temperature, it is faster that the relative luminous intensity of YAG fluorescent powder declines, and therefore in fact, the hot saturation effect of YAG fluorescent powder is relative to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+red light fluorescent powder is obvious all the better.In theory, hot quenching phenomenon is relevant with the host lattice structure of phosphor material powder, and the rigidity of the crystal structure of host lattice is higher, is more not easy vibration, is more not easy to produce hot quenching phenomenon.And (Sr, Ca) AlSiN

2+the luminescent saturation phenomenon of red light fluorescent powder may be due to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN

2+excited state after time of red light fluorescent powder is long to cause.

3+emergent light filtering apparatus filter, the ruddiness of predetermined color coordinate can be obtained, and by this ruddiness and (Sr, Ca) AlSiN

2+the ruddiness of fluorescent powder outgoing compares, and its result as shown in Figure 3.Fig. 3 is (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+fluorescent powder and (Sr, Ca) AlSiN

2+the change curve that the luminous intensity of fluorescent powder outgoing ruddiness changes along with the optical power density of exciting light, optical power density is the power of light source emergent light in unit area, as shown in Figure 3, is less than 35W/mm in the optical power density of exciting light
2time, along with the raising of the optical power density of exciting light, the luminous intensity of two kinds of fluorescent powder improves gradually, but (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+luminous intensity will lower than (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+luminous intensity.35W/mm is more than or equal in the optical power density of exciting light

3+the luminescent saturation effect of fluorescent powder becomes obvious, (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+luminous intensity become higher than (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+luminous intensity.Due to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+with (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+host lattice identical, difference is luminescent center, and Ce
3+excited state far to be shorter than Eu after time
2+excited state after time, therefore, the luminescent saturation phenomenon of fluorescent powder is relevant for after time with the excited state of luminescent center, and the excited state of luminescent center is shorter for after time, is more not easy to occur luminescent saturation.
Because the excited state of luminescent center is shorter for after time, be more not easy to occur luminescent saturation, any luminescent center excited state twilight sunset compares Ce
3+short fluorescent powder is all more difficult there is luminescent saturation phenomenon.Due to Ce
3+excited state after time be 0.1 millisecond to 0.01 millisecond, when the power of exciting light is at 35Wmm
2time above, as long as the excited state of fluorescent powder is less than or equal to 0.1 millisecond after time, this fluorescent powder is all relative to (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Eu
2+red light fluorescent powder can weaken luminescent saturation phenomenon, thus has higher luminous intensity.
In prior art, although be used as ruddiness after the emergent light of YAG fluorescent powder can be filtered, but the predominant wavelength of YAG fluorescent powder is shorter, general at about 560nm, and the wavelength coverage of ruddiness is generally more than 600nm, if therefore the emergent light of YAG fluorescent powder is used as ruddiness, most light can be filtered out, and make the utilization factor of light very low.
And in an experiment, the present inventor finds (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+fluorescent powder is not only not easy to occur light saturated phenomenon, and the predominant wavelength of its emergent light just can reach 590nm, therefore (Sr, Ca) AlSiN
3: Ce
3+when fluorescent powder uses as ruddiness, the loss of light can be reduced.This is because the predominant wavelength of the Stimulated Light of fluorescent powder outgoing depends primarily on its luminescent center, also can be subject to the impact of host lattice type simultaneously.Similarly, Ca

2+when mixing altogether, the two is close, and distance is very little, Ce

2+, the distance between fluorescent powder grain is much bigger, makes Ce
