We present a facile fabrication process to directly fabricate cone-shaped microwells arrays on single crystal Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) ceramic phosphor platelets (CPPs) by short-pulse laser direct patterning. Compared to unpatterned YAG:Ce CPP with smooth surface, the forward-to-total ratio of emission photons of patterned YAG: Ce CPPs was enhanced from 53.2% up to 78.2%, and the total emission within 4-pi degree is 6% higher. The fabricated patterns are also beneficial in increasing the color conversion efficiency of YAG:Ce CPPs by 7.6%. The patterned YAG:Ce CPPs display much better correlated color temperature (CCT) uniformity under varied currents. The angular correlated color temperature uniformity (ACU) of patterned YAG: Ce CPPs reaches as high as 0.933 compared to 0.730 of the unpatterned one. These results suggest that laser patterning of YAG:Ce CPP could effectively manipulate its luminance, chromaticity and illumination pattern, which may lead to further technological advancements for diversified applications of film-type CPPs in highly efficient white LEDs.
