An embodiment of the invention is luminescent silicon nanoparticle polymer composite that can serve as a wavelength converter or a UV absorber. The composite includes a polymer or an organosilicon compound; and within, the polymer or organosilicon compound, a dispersion of luminescent silicon nanoparticles. In a preferred composite, the silicon nanoparticles having a multiple Si-H termination sites, the silicon nanoparticles being linked to a C cite to produce a silicon carbide bond (Si-C). In a preferred embodiment, the polymer comprises polyurethane. A composite of the invention can perform wavelength conversion. In a wavelength converted film of the invention, the silicon nanoparticles are incorporated into the polymer or organosilicon compound in a quantity sufficient for wavelength conversion but small enough to have no or an insubstantial affect on the properties of the polymer or the organosilicon compound. A white LED of the invention includes a light emitting diode having a narrow band wavelength output. A luminescent silicon wavelength converter includes a composite film as described above for converting the narrow band wavelength output into wide band wavelength output. In a preferred embodiment, the LED comprises a GaN LED, and the wavelength converter film is disposed on an active region of the LED.
