The invention of the efficient blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) 1 has led to the Solid State Lighting (SSL) revolution that will replace inefficient incandescent and fluorescent lamps by much more efficient light sources. Blue light is necessary for the generation of broadband white light. In a white LED this generation is usually realized through a luminescent or phosphorescent material, which is called the phosphor. 2 Blue light from efficient InGaN quantum wells is absorbed by the phosphor, which emits light of a longer wavelength. White light is generated by mixing the emission of the phosphor with the fraction of non-absorbed blue light.
