The invention discloses
broadband near-
infrared fluorescent
powder of Al < 3 + > substituted and modified Fe < 3 + > doped
germanate, a preparation method of the
broadband near-
infrared fluorescent
powder and a near-
infrared light source, and belongs to the technical field of luminescent materials. The
chemical composition of the
broadband near-infrared fluorescent
powder is A3Ga2-yAlyGeO8: xFe < 3 + >, A is one or more of Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba, x and y represent the
molar fractions of Fe < 3 + > and Al < 3 + >, the value range is that y is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 2.0, and x is more than or equal to 0.001 and less than or equal to 0.018. According to the invention, Al < 3 + > is introduced into a Fe < 3 + >-doped
germanate matrix to gradually replace Ga < 3 + >, and the
doping concentration of Al < 3 + > is regulated, so that precise optimization of the luminescent property of the fluorescent powder is realized; experimental results prove that the fluorescent powder emits 700-740 nm near-infrared light under the excitation of light with the
wavelength range of 200-500 nm, the
quantum efficiency exceeds 90%, and the
luminous intensity at the temperature of 150 DEG C is kept at 85% or above at the
room temperature; the near-infrared
light source device prepared from the Fe < 3 + >-doped fluorescent powder has
night vision and
vein imaging functions, solves the problems of low
quantum efficiency and poor
thermal stability of the existing Fe < 3 + >-doped fluorescent powder, and has
biological safety and industrialization potential. A high-temperature
solid-
phase method is adopted for preparation, the process is simple, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
