Abstract

The manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a light emitter that generates ultraviolet light. The light emitter contains a YPO₄ crystal to which at least scandium (Sc) is added, and receives an electron beam or excitation light having a shorter wavelength than a wavelength of the ultraviolet light, to generate the ultraviolet light. The manufacturing method includes: producing a first mixture; producing a second mixture; producing a third mixture; and sintering the third mixture. The first mixture containing a compound of yttrium (Y), a compound of scandium (Sc), phosphoric acid or a phosphate compound, and a liquid is produced. In the producing the second mixture, the second mixture in a powder form is produced by evaporating the liquid. In the producing the third mixture, the third mixture is produced by mixing either one or both of an alkali metal halide and an alkali metal carbonate with the second mixture.
