An Ultraviolet–Visible and Near‐Infrared‐Responded Broadband NIR Phosphor and Its NIR Spectroscopy Application

High‐radiance near‐infrared (NIR) phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diodes (pc‐LEDs) are demanded for wearable biosensing devices and the properties of these pc‐LEDs are highly dependent on the performance of the NIR phosphor. An ultraviolet–visible and NIR‐responded broadband NIR NaScGe 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ phosphor is reported. Under 490 nm excitation, NaScGe 2 O 6 :Cr 3+ shows broad emission band from 700 to 1250 nm, which covers the first and second...
