Abstract

The chapter discussed the optical properties of ZnO phosphor for a wide-ranging emission application. The existing luminescence characteristics of ZnO phosphor can be enhanced by the introduction of native defects as well as electronic impurity doping. Special characteristics of ZnO phosphor, like its large exciton binding energy and wide bandgap, make it an interesting material to explore, especially when doped with various elements for various nanoscale lighting devices. Additionally, the distribution and interaction of defects in undoped and doped ZnO phosphors as well as their luminescence dynamics were discussed. We presented the experimental work for the undoped and doped ZnO phosphor materials as down- and up-converting phosphors. As a result, the advantages associated with advancing the luminescence characteristics of ZnO phosphor materials were discussed.
