The most common white light emitting diodes (LEDs) are based on a blue-emitting LED chip coated with a yellow-emitting phosphor; the phosphor acts as a frequency-downshifter for a significant part of the blue light to generate white light. Luminescent glasses represent an interesting alternative to the commonly used phosphor/polymer composite due to their higher thermal and chemical stability. The glasses are optically activated by additional lanthanide ion doping. However, since the optical absorption coefficient of the lanthanide ions is low, the as-made glasses are processed to glass ceramics in a subsequent annealing step. The glass ceramics provide a longer optical path length for the incident blue light due to scattering at the grown crystallites in the glass. In this work, photometric far-field studies on europium-doped lithium borate glass ceramics are presented to show the potential of these systems as frequency-downshifter for LED applications. The experimental results are compared with optical simulations to optimize the glass ceramics with respect to lanthanide ion concentration, crystallite size distribution as well as degree of crystallization.
