G. Alexander et al., MEASUREMENT OF QUANTUM AND CATHODOLUMINESCENT EFFICIENCIES OF INORGANIC POWDER PHOSPHORS USING SILICON PHOTODIODE DETECTOR, Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics, 31(8), 1993, pp. 531-538
A direct optical method for the quick evaluation of both quantum and c
athodoluminescent efficiencies of inorganic powder phosphors using a s
ilicon photodiode as the detector is presented. The design of the equi
pment and other experimental details for the measurement of quantum an
d cathodoluminescent efficiencies are described. Results of the measur
ements on several phosphors of known efficiencies are compared with th
ose synthesised in our own laboratory.
