It is found that tilt angles of reflective cup and phosphor surface geometries affect the light extraction efficiency and the ACU distinctly. When the tilt angle varied from 60° to 15°, the light extraction efficiency of LED can achieve the improvements of 13.87%, 18.25% and 14.79% respectively, when the phosphor surface geometry is concave, flat and convex, respectively. It is also found the variety law of phosphor concentrations with the change of tilt angles and phosphor surface geometries to maintain a fixed correlated color temperature (CCT).展开更多

Calculation processes were presented in detail. Variations of the optical constants with the changes of phosphor weight fraction, dopant weight fraction, phosphor particle radius and SiO2 particle radius, were shown and analyzed separately. It was found that the asymmetry parameter is the intrinsic characteristic of the particles, and the increase of the phosphor weight fraction (or concentration) will lead to the increase of the optical constants. It was also discovered that the increase of the dopant weight fraction will enhance the scattering coefficient, but result in the decreases of the reduced scattering coefficient and the absorption coefficient.展开更多
