The present disclosure relates to optical elements and coatings comprising rare-earth element (REE) compounds for light wavelength attenuation of light emitting diode (LED) elements and lamps. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to LED elements and lamps comprising wavelength attenuating elements comprising REE compounds having at least a portion of non-crystalline, non-hydrate form, methods of preparing such elements, and LED elements, LED arrays, LED packages, optical elements, lamps and systems made with same. 1. A composition comprising a polymer matrix comprising at least one rare-earth element (REE) compound , at least an amount of the REE compound present in an amorphous or non-crystalline form , or present substantially without hydrate forms.2. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a polymer matrix of one or more polysiloxanes claim 1 , polycarbonates claim 1 , poly(meth)acyrlates claim 1 , thermoplastics claim 1 , thermoplastic elastomers claim 1 , thermosets claim 1 , or polyurethanes.3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one REE compound comprises a REE selected from neodymium claim 1 , didymium claim 1 , dysprosium claim 1 , erbium claim 1 , holmium claim 1 , praseodymium claim 1 , and thulium.4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one REE compound is a REE nitrate claim 1 , phosphate claim 1 , sulfate claim 1 , halide claim 1 , carbonate claim 1 , alkoxide claim 1 , or acetate.5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one REE compound is a REE nitrate claim 1 , phosphate claim 1 , sulfate claim 1 , halide claim 1 , carbonate claim 1 , alkoxide claim 1 , or acetate with one or more waters of hydration removed.6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one REE compound has a melting point less than a decomposition temperature or a cure temperature of the polymer matrix.7. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising one or more phosphors or diffusers.8. The composition of claim 1 ...
