Wavelength converters () with improved thermal conductivity are described. In some embodiments the wavelength converters include a thermally conductive component () and a wavelength conversion material () mixed with or dispersed in the thermally conductive component. The wavelength conversion material () includes non-agglomerated quantum dots. The presence of the thermally conductive component may facilitate removal of heat from the wavelength converter, potentially reducing the impact of elevated temperature on the performance of the wavelength conversion material therein. Methods of making such wavelength converters and lighting devices including such wavelength converters are also described.

The present disclosure is directed to light converter assemblies with enhanced heat dissipation. A light converter assembly may comprise a confinement material applied to at least a first substrate and a phosphor material also deposited on the first substrate so as to be surrounded by the confinement material. The first substrate may be hermetically sealed to a second substrate using the confinement material so that the phosphor material is confined between the substrates and protected from atmospheric contamination. The substrates may comprise, for example, sapphire to allow for light beam transmission and heat conductance. Confinement materials that may be employed to seal the first substrate to the second substrate may include, for example, silicon or a metal (e.g., silver, copper, aluminum, etc.) The phosphor material may comprise, for example, at least one quantum dot material.

A light emitting diode (LED) light engine includes a solid transparent dome mounted on one or more LED dies to form a base module, a flexible sheath having embedded therein a phosphor that converts light of a first wavelength range to light of a second wavelength range, the sheath being attached to the base module so that the sheath conforms to a light emitting surface of the dome. The sheath emits light of the second wavelength range when the LED is emitting light of the first wavelength range. Further sheaths may be formed each with different phosphors or phosphor blends, and one of the sheaths may be selected to cover the base module depending on the color of light to be produced by the light engine.

There is herein described a LED lighting device utilizing quantum dots in layers on top of an LED chip. The quantum dots layers and the LED chip are arranged with gradient refractive indices, so that the refractive index of each layer is preferably less than the refractive index of the immediately underlying layer or chip. The quantum dots with emission peaks at longer wavelengths are preferably arranged in lower layers closer to the LED chip; while the quantum dots with emission peaks at shorter wavelengths are arranged in higher layers farther from the LED chip.

A lamp includes a linearly extending heat sink, blue-light-emitting LEDs mounted on the heat sink, and a light emitting cover mounted on the heat sink in line with the LEDs, a first portion of the cover opposite the LEDs including a phosphor that is excited by the LEDs to emit white light. The cover may be a tube with the LEDs outside the tube, a portion of the tube nearest the LEDs being transparent and receiving light from the LEDs. The tube may include reflectors that are attached to an exterior surface of the tube to hold the tube on the heat sink. Alternatively, the cover may enclose the LEDs on the heat sink, where a portion of the cover has an interior surface that reflects light from the LEDs to the first portion. The lamp may include electrical connections that allow for multiple lamps to be connected in series.
