Researchers of the University of Gdańsk want to create infrared luminophosphors. The new solution can be used in the food industry and medicine. The project “Perovskites and broadband infrared phosphors for light emitting diodes” is carried out as part of the Polish-Taiwanese Research Cooperation.
The aim of the researchers is to create and characterize modern phosphors emitting light in the visible and infrared range, excited with light from luminescent diodes.
– In our research, we focus on LED light sources, improving their emission spectrum using phosphors, as well as minimizing them so that they can be installed, for example, in a smartphone – says Dr Sebastian Mahlik, University of Gdańsk.
Polish-Taiwanese competitions are conducted under the cooperation of the National Center for Research and Development and the Ministry of Science and Technology in Taipei. Their goal is to strengthen contacts between the two scientific communities and establish research cooperation.
