From basic principles of luminescence to innovative technical applications, Phosphor Handbook will serve as the definitive resource on phosphors. Considering all the major changes in the field of phosphors, the editors have produced the most current and comprehensive reference available today.Contributed by noted worldwide scientists and engineers, the handbook serves a ready audience among researchers in the field of luminescence.This book completely describes:opowder phosphors, including information on solid state laser materials and organic ELoproperties and technical applications of phosphors, including the principal classes of phosphors, procedures to synthesize and manufacture these phosphors, manner of deployment, and materials that emit light under various kinds of excitationocurrent developments of phosphor materials required in advanced display technologies, such as UV Plasma Display and Field Emission Display (FED)oexperimental techniques characterizing materials in their initial and final formsOther provisos include:otutorials of fundamental physical and chemical properties of phosphor materialsodescriptions of optical properties of phosphor materialsoprofiles on methods of synthesis and manufacture of all practical phosphorsoanalysis of experimental procedures for the optical characterization of raw phosphors and the creation of display devices or lampsospecification of physical and optical requirements for all applications of phosphors in lighting and display technologiesJapanese industry has and will continue to play a key role in developing these applications, and many contributors to this volume acted as principals in the progress discussed.Display technologies will increase in importance, and no cohesive or comprehensive treatise exists - from basic to applied - on the nature, properties, synthesis, characterization, manufacture, and handling of phosphor materials in lighting and display technologies and applications. This exceptional handbook rectifies this deficiency, serving as the defining resource for all those engaged in research or in the application of phosphor materials - regardless of whether they are newcomers or veterans in this endeavor.
