  • Patent number: 11280476
    Abstract: An optical converter is provided that has both a stable colour even at highest luminous powers and a high luminous efficiency. The optical converter includes a ceramic element that is fluorescent so that light of a first wavelength is absorbed in the ceramic element and fluorescent having longer wavelength light is emitted. The ceramic element includes pores spatially irregularly distributed within the ceramic element. The distribution of the pores within the ceramic element is inhomogeneous so that the radial distribution function of the pore locations deviates from unity and has a maximum at a characteristic distance, the maximum having a value of at least 1.2.
