Background technology
As develop in current various LASER Light Sources it is very fast, using a kind of wider LASER Light Source, laser fluorescence conversion hysteria
Light source includes laser, Wavelength converter and output end, wherein, generally by stack gradually substrate layer, reflecting layer and luminous
The Wavelength converter of layer (following, to be referred to as " three level stack structure ") composition produces the color of needs under the exciting of laser
Light, and exported via output end.As can be seen that Wavelength converter is the critical component of laser fluorescence conversion hysteria light source, its
The height of performance directly determines the quality of laser fluorescence conversion hysteria light source.However, with the raising of laser power, for wavelength
The requirement of the performances such as the reflectivity of conversion equipment, thermal conductivity, stability also improves constantly.When the laser that high power laser is sent
During illumination wavelength conversion equipment, the temperature of Wavelength converter raises quickly and heat increases sharply, it is therefore desirable to its have compared with
High reflectivity, thermal conductivity, stability etc..
Mainly there are two types in reflecting layer in current Wavelength converter:One kind is to use white scattering particles and glass
The diffusing reflection layer that glass powder mixed sintering is formed;Another kind is using compact metal (for example, silver, aluminium) reflecting layer.Diffusing reflection layer is complete
Portion is sintered by inorganic material and formed, and heat resistance is higher, but the thermal conductivity of the scattering particles and glass dust as its composition material
It is relatively low, and in order to ensure higher reflectivity, the sintering structure of diffusing reflection layer is typically loose structure, and thermal resistance is higher, so as to
It is unfavorable for the raising of reliability and luminosity of the Wavelength converter under the exciting of the laser that superpower laser is sent.Though
So thermal resistance can be reduced by the way that the thickness of diffusing reflection layer is thinned, but this can reduce its reflectivity again.Therefore, diffusing reflection layer exists
It can not ensure that there is higher reflectivity, thermal conductivity, stability simultaneously in principle.Compact metal reflecting layer is by metal paste, glass
Glass powder and organic carrier mixed sintering are formed, it is possible to achieve higher reflectivity and thermal resistance is relatively low.Such compact metal reflection
The raw metal generally use aluminium or silver of layer.Because reflectivity of the silver in visible light wave range is far above aluminium, thus argentum reflecting layer is
Preferably.
In addition, aluminium nitride ceramics turns into the active material of heat-conducting substrate layer in recent years.It has good mechanical performance, resists
Folding intensity is higher than aluminium oxide ceramics.It also has high thermal conductivity, is more than 5 times of aluminium oxide ceramics.But with regard to heat-conducting effect
Speech, aluminium nitride substrate is the optimal heat-conducting substrate in addition to metal.In addition, aluminium nitride ceramics also has high-temperature stability so that
Aluminium nitride substrate has very high heat endurance.However, when aluminium nitride substrate forms as substrate layer and above-mentioned argentum reflecting layer
During stacked structure, because silver is poor with the sintering adhesive force of aluminium nitride substrate, the phenomenon of stripping occurs in actual use, leads
Product reliability is caused to reduce.Although it can be carried in the sintering method of aluminium nitride substrate by using glass dust and silver powder mixed sintering
The adhesive force of high argentum reflecting layer, but this argentum reflecting layer is due to containing glass structure so that and reflectivity does not reach fine silver reflection
Effect and thermal resistance is higher, heat-conducting effect is poor.
