摘要: Cr$^{3+}$-activated phosphors have attracted significant attention for their tunable emission, spanning narrow-band red to broadband near-infrared (NIR) luminescence, depending on the crystal field environment. Here, we report the realization of wideband NIR emission in Cr$^{3+}$-doped GaScO$_{3}$ (GaScO$_{3}$:Cr$^{3+}$) phosphors with perovskite structure. The phosphors were synthesized by traditional solid-state reaction method. The first-principles calculations were conducted and the results demonstrate that the octahedral [GaO$_6$] sites exhibit relatively weak crystal field strength ($Dq/B\approx 2.2$), facilitating efficient spin-allowed transitions of Cr$^{3+}$ from the $^{4}$T$_{2}$ state to the $^{4}$A$_{2}$ state. The photoluminescence spectroscopy revealed an exceptionally broad NIR emission band from a range of 700 nm-1200 nm with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 145 nm under 465-nm excitation. Overall, these results highlight the viability of GaScO$_{3}$:Cr$^{3+}$ as a highly promising material for wideband NIR applications.
