Thermography on Luminescent Barium Borate Glass for White-LED Applications — •Florian Wagner1, Peter Nolte2, and Stefan Schweizer1,21South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, Lübecker Ring 2, 59494 Soest — 2Fraunhofer Application Center for Inorganic Phosphors, Branch Lab of Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM, Lübecker Ring 2, 59494 Soest

White light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs) represent one of the most promising lighting technologies for the future. Primarily used in many lighting applications is a blue LED combined with a yellow phosphor. The phosphor powder is usually embedded in an organic polymer and coated onto the LED chip. Heat-induced degradation of the organic encapsulate, however, results in an efficiency decrease and color temperature change. Luminescent glasses or glass ceramics are an interesting alternative due to their higher thermal and chemical stability. This work focuses on the thermal behaviour of luminescent barium borate glasses under intense excitation with ultraviolet/blue light. The glasses are doped with rare-earth ions for optical activation. Upon absorbing the ultaviolet/blue light, the rare-earth ions show their typical emission in the visible spectral range. Here, not all of the absorbed light is frequency-downshifted, but a significant part is released in the form of heat. Contact-free infrared thermography enables an analysis of the heat development in these materials. An algorithm based on the partial differential heat equation is developed to calculate the heat source density of the optical excitation from the surface temperature distribution.
