Abstract
A phosphor and a light source device having the phosphor having a high internal quantum yield by enabling a large Ce amount, capable of shifting the fluorescence wavelength of yellow fluorescence to the long wavelength side, having satisfactory heat quenching resistance, and excellent in blue light transmittance. The phosphor includes a Ce:YAG single crystal having a Ce amount of 0.7 parts by mole or more when the total amount of Y and Ce is 100 parts by mole.
Claims9
