Lu3Al5O12: Ce3+ (LuAG: Ce3+) phosphor ceramics (PCs) with high quantum efficiency and excellent thermal stability are incredibly promising color converters for high-power white light emitting diodes (LEDs)/ laser diodes (LDs) lighting. However, the greenish emission of LuAG:Ce3+ PCs does not allow to reach white light emission upon pumping by a blue LED/ LD without an additional red luminescent material. In this work, a series of (Ce0.003Lu0.997)3(MgxAl1-2xSix)5O12 (LCMASG) (x = 0-0.15) PCs were fabricated by solid state reaction method. Impressively, the as-prepared PCs exhibited a distinct red-shift (513→538nm) and a 17% increase of the color index (CRI) of high-power white LED(58.4→70.4). Particularly, Ce: Lu(Mg, Al)2(Si, Al)3O12 PC with 15 at.% substitution concentration showed only 8% luminescent intensity loss at 150 °C and high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 82%, exhibiting desirable optical thermal stability. By combining with a 460 nm blue chip or a 455 nm laser source, white LED/LD devices based on the LCMASG PCs in a remote excitation mode were constructed. The optimized luminous efficiency of Ce: Lu(Mg, Al)2(Si, Al)3O12 PC with 15 at.% Mg2+/Si4+ doping up to 176.4 lm/W was obtained as the power density of the blue laser increased to 6.52 W/mm2. Also, a 4053K CCT of the warm white light emission was realized. Therefore, this work proves that the LCMASG PCs are promising to serve as color converters for high power LEDs/LDs lighting in the future.
