Abstract

A light-emitting ceramic and a light-emitting device. The light-emitting ceramic comprises a YAG substrate and light-emitting centers and diffusion particles evenly dispersed in the YAG substrate. The light-emitting centers are lanthanide-doped YAG fluorescent powder particles of 10-20 μm in grain size. The particle size of the scattering particles is 20-50 nm. The YAG substrate is a lanthanide-doped YAG ceramic. Also, the grain size of the YAG substrate is less than the grain size of the YAG fluorescent powder particles.
