ISO 13915:2023

Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) — Test method for optical properties of ceramic phosphors for white light-emitting diodes with reference materials ISO 13915:2023

Scope

This document specifies a substitution measurement method to measure internal quantum efficiency, external quantum efficiency and absorptance of ceramic phosphor powders, which are used in white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and emit visible light when excited by UV or blue light. In this method, commercially available measurement equipment, such as a fluorescence spectrophotometer or a spectroradiometer equipped with a monochromatic light source as incident light, are used to measure fluorescence spectra for reference materials whose quantum efficiencies and absorptance have been determined using the methods in ISO 23946 and a phosphor material under test.
