Optical Testing Methodologies for characterization of High Brightness LEDs

Mr. Greg McKee, Labsphere, Inc.

 

Abstract:  This talk will provide participants with a working knowledge of the optical properties of LEDs and how to measure them correctly.  The discussion concentrates on parameters of interest and identifying areas that can lead to large measurement errors.  Practical examples are covered, including actual measurements of packaged LEDs.  Participants will be able to identify and address critical variables that lead to reliable measurements.


The result of this talk will enable participants to:

•Understand the various optical properties of LEDs (radiometric, photometric & colorimetric)

•Perform measurements consistent with current standards and understand the trends accepted methodology

•Specify measurement systems and conditions

•Identify parameters that affect accuracy

•Improve existing measurement accuracy
