  • Patent number: 10920938
    Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new apparatus such as a lighting apparatus, the apparatus comprising at least one LED (or OLED) module, configured to generate a visible light such as white light, and at least one component such as optical component comprising a compound consisting essentially of the elements neodymium (Nd) and fluorine (F), and optionally including one or more other elements. The lighting apparatus is configured to provide a desired light spectrum by filtering the generated visible light using the compound. The at least one component can comprise a NdFxOy compound with values of x and y determining a content ratio F/O, which may be adjusted during manufacturing of the NdFxOy compound to provide desired output light parameters of the apparatus including at least a desired output light spectrum realized by filtering the generated visible light using the NdFxOy compound.

  • Publication number: 20150279651
    Abstract: Lamps exhibiting a chromaticity shift relative to a clear baseline, including but not limited to modified spectrum lamps. Such a lamp includes a light-transmissive envelope and a light-generating element enclosed within the light-transmissive envelope. The light-transmissive envelope is doped to contain neodymium oxide and has a coating on its interior envelope surface that contains at least one color pigment. Visible light emitted by the light-generating element has chromaticity coordinates corresponding to a clear center of a clear baseline lamp. The light-transmissive glass envelope has a neodymium oxide content and the coating has a color pigment content that in combination cause visible light emitted through the light-transmissive envelope to have chromaticity coordinates that are shifted from the chromaticity coordinates of the visible light emitted by the light-generating element.
