Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) component comprises an LED having a dominant wavelength in a range of from about 425 nm to less than 460 nm and a phosphor in optical communication with the LED. The phosphor includes a host lattice comprising yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), and may include an activator comprising Ce and a substitutional dopant comprising Ga incorporated in the host lattice. An emission spectrum of the phosphor has a maximum intensity in a wavelength range of from about 540 nm to about 570 nm, and an excitation spectrum of the phosphor comprises an intensity at 440 nm equivalent to at least about 85% of a maximum intensity of the excitation spectrum.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) component comprises an LED having a dominant wavelength in a range of from about 425 nm to about 475 nm, and a first phosphor and a second phosphor are in optical communication with the LED. The first phosphor has a peak emission wavelength in the range of from about 600 nm to about 700 nm, and the second phosphor has a peak emission wavelength in the range of from about 500 nm to about 600 nm. An excitation spectrum of the first phosphor includes, at excitation wavelengths longer than 530 nm, no intensities greater than about 60% of a maximum intensity of the excitation spectrum.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) component comprises an LED comprising a dominant wavelength in a range of from about 425 nm to about 475 nm, and a phosphor composition in optical communication with the LED. The phosphor composition comprises a primary phase and one or more additional phases. An emission spectrum of the phosphor composition has a peak emission wavelength of between about 640 nm and about 670 nm and a FWHM of between about 40 nm and 65 nm. An x-ray diffraction pattern of the phosphor composition comprises a first intensity peak corresponding to the one or more additional phases at a 2-theta value of from about 26.5° to about 26.8°.
