Abstract
In this article the physical, thermal structural and optical properties of Dy3+ doped lithium borate glasses have been studied for white LED application. The emission spectra shows two intense emission bands at around 483 nm and 574 nm corresponds to the 4F9/2 → 6H15/2 and 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 transitions along with one feeble band at 663 nm corresponds to 4F9/2 → 6H11/2 transition. The average lifetime <τ> of Dy3+ were found to be about 2.95 and 4.94 ns for blue and yellow emission bands respectively. CIE chromaticity diagram shows glass LBD-4 containing 0.5 mol% Dy2O3 with colour co-ordinates x = 0.33 and y = 0.37 have highest emission intensity. These glasses having emission in the white region and thus can be used for bright white LED's and modern white LED bulbs.
