Optical constants, including scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient, asymmetry parameter and reduced scattering coefficient, of cerium-doped yttrium aluminium garnets (YAG:Ce) phosphor blended with SiO2 particle for white light-emitting diode (LED) packages were calculated based on Mie theory in this study. Calculation processes were presented in detail. Variations of the optical constants with the changes of phosphor weight fraction, dopant weight fraction, phosphor particle radius and SiO2 particle radius, were shown and analyzed separately. It was found that the asymmetry parameter is the intrinsic characteristic of the particles, and the increase of the phosphor weight fraction (or concentration) will lead to the increase of the optical constants. It was also discovered that the increase of the dopant weight fraction will enhance the scattering coefficient, but result in the decreases of the reduced scattering coefficient and the absorption coefficient.
