In this paper, the color point tuning of Y3Al5O12 : Ce3+ phosphor has been realized by the incorporation of Mn2+-Si4+. The Mn2+ ions occupy the dodecahedral crystallographic Y3+ site, while the Si4+ ions substitute the tetrahedral Al3+ crystallographic site in the obtained powder. Under 450 nm excitation, the YAG : Ce3+, Mn2+, Si4+ samples exhibit the typical yellowish-green emission band of the Ce3+ ions, as well as an orange emission band of the Mn2+ ions. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of the orange/yellowish-green band can be enhanced through the increase of Mn2+-Si4+ content. The intense orange emission band of the Mn2+ ions is attributed to the effective energy transfer from the Ce3+ to Mn2+ ions, which has been justified through the luminescence spectra and the fluorescence decay dynamics. The related mechanism was demonstrated to be the electric dipole-quadrupole interaction based on the Inokuti-Hirayama theoretical model, and critical distance is calculated to be 8.6 angstrom by the spectral overlap method.
