Optical & Phosphor Materials

Phosphor, luminescent and optical-material powder inquiries, specified around host chemistry, dopant and the intended optical evaluation.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Garnet and phosphor powders

Separate the host material from the doped phosphor. Include the dopant and excitation/emission conditions needed to assess an optical result.

Strontium aluminate phosphor powder

strontium aluminate phosphor powder (SrAl2O4-based; activator is grade-specific)

SrAl2O4-based; phase/dopant varies

Optical fluoride powders

CaF2, MgF2 and LiF are separate chemical choices. Confirm powder form and the impurity and moisture limits required by the intended optical process.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Host & activator

Specify the host phase and dopant, not just the requested color. Keep nominal chemistry and grade-specific composition distinct.

Optical test basis

Provide excitation/emission needs and the conditions for spectral, color-coordinate or efficiency comparison.

Process compatibility

Discuss particle size, coating, matrix, loading and thermal or humidity exposure in the intended device or formulation.

Before you choose

Is a phosphor's visible powder color enough to select a grade?

No. The host/activator system, excitation conditions and processing environment need to match the application. Illustrative powder photography cannot establish emitted color or spectral performance.

What does this directory cover?

LED packages, lamps and finished optical components are not powder products. Functional pigments are listed separately.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Host phase and dopant/activator
  • Excitation/emission and measurement conditions
  • Particle size and surface treatment
  • Matrix, exposure conditions and evaluation quantity

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
