Broadband near-infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are desirable for smart devices and bio-imaging applications, but the efficiency is limited by the phosphor materials. The authors report broadband emission in Eu-Tb co-doped CaS due to metal-to-metal charge transfer between dopants, and build a broadband near-IR LED with output surpassing the state of the art.
