Abstract

In this paper the optical properties of garnet compounds, highlighting their use in lasers, scintillators, and phosphors for scanners, Hg lamps, and LEDs, is reviewed. We show how compositional variations within the garnet lattice can lead to unique optical properties and characteristics. This is attractive to researchers, who desire to build an understanding as to how material modifications influence material properties as well as to commercial developers who aim at optimizing optical properties for specific uses. The discussions extend to garnet materials in transparent ceramic and single crystal forms.

期刊介绍： Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials. OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on: • Optical Properties of Material Systems; • The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena; • The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications. Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
