The highly transparent Ce and Gd co-doped YAG single crystal was grown by Czochralski method.
The luminescence properties of Ce and Gd co-doped YAG single crystal are investigated in detail.
Such Ce,Gd:YAG single crystal-based W-LED exhibits excellent optical performance.
A very low light loss of Ce,Gd:YAG single crystal under a high temperature (in the temperature 378 K and 438 K).
