Cerium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Ce:YAG) is a phosphor material widely used in various industrial applications, particularly in lighting and imaging technologies. Its primary function lies in its ability to convert ultraviolet light into visible light, especially in the green to yellow region of the spectrum. This property makes Ce:YAG an essential component in white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), where it is combined with blue LED chips to produce a warm, white light. This combination is prevalent in energy-efficient lighting solutions found in homes, offices, and public spaces. Additionally, Ce:YAG is utilized in scintillator detectors, which are critical in medical imaging equipment like computed tomography (CT) scanners and in various types of radiation detection equipment used in nuclear and particle physics. Its high efficiency in converting high-energy photons and particles into visible light makes it an invaluable component in these technologies. The versatility and effectiveness of Ce:YAG in converting and detecting light have cemented its role in advancing lighting technology and medical imaging.
