The reduction of the thermal quenching effect in laser-excited phosphor converters using highly thermally conductive hBN particles

Abstract Phosphor converters for solid state lighting applications experience a strong thermal stress under high-excitation power densities. The recent interest in laser diode based lighting has made this issue even more severe. This research presents an effective approach to reduce the thermal quen...
