FACULTY OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN Ph.D. thesis Anders Thorseth Characterization, Modeling, and Optimiza- tion of Light-Emitting Diode Systems Principal supervisor: Jan W. Thomsen Co-supervisor: Carsten Dam-Hansen Submitted: 31/03/2011 i \Here forms, here colours, here the character of every part of the universe are concentrated to a point." Leonardo da Vinci, on the eye [156, p. 20] ii Abstract This thesis explores, characterization, modeling, and optimization of light-emitting diodes (LED) for general illumination. An automated setup has been developed for spectral radiometric characterization of LED components with precise control of the settings of forward current and oper- ating temperature. The automated setup has been used to characterize commercial LED components with respect to multiple settings. It is shown that the droop in quan- tum efficiency can be approximated by a simple parabolic function. The investigated models of the spectral power distributions (SPD) from LEDs are the strictly empirical single and double Gaussian functions, and a semi empirical model using quasi Fermi levels and other basic solid state principles. The models are fitted to measured SPDs, using the free parameters. The result show a high correlation between the measured LED SPD and the fitted models. When comparing the chromaticity of the measured SPD with fitted models, the deviation is found to be larger than the lower limit of hu- man color perception. A method has been developed to optimize multicolored cluster LED systems with respect to light quality, using multi objective optimization. The results are simulated SPDs similar to traditional light sources, and with high light quality. As part of this work the techniques have been applied in practical illumina- tion applications. The presented examples are historical artifacts and illumination of plants to increase photosynthesis. iv Resum´e Denne afhandling udforsker karakterisering, modellering og optimering af lysemitte- rende dioder (LED) til generel belysning. En automatiseret forsøgsopstilling er blevet udviklet til spektro-radiometrisk ka- rakterisering af LED komponenter, for forskellige indstillinger af strøm og driftstempe- ratur. Den automatiserede forsøgsopstilling har været brugt til at karakterisere kom- mercielle LED komponenter. Det er vist, at kvante effektivitet kan tilnærmes ved en simpel parabolsk funktion. De undersøgte modeller af spektralfordelinger fra lysdio- der enkelt og dobbelt Gauss-funktioner som er strengt empiriske, og en semi empirisk model baseret p˚akvasi Fermi niveauer og andre basale faststof principper. De frie parametre in modellerne er fittet til de m˚altespektralfordelinger. Resultatet viser en høj korrelation mellem den m˚alteLED spektralfordelinger og modellerne. N˚arman sammenligner kromaticiteten af de m˚altespektralfordelinger med de modellerede spek- tralfordelinger viser afvigelsen sig at være større end den nedre grænse for menneskets opfattelse af farver. En metode er udviklet til at optimere flerfarvede klynge LED sy- stemer med hensyn til lyskvalitet, ved hjælp af flerm˚aletoptimering. Resultaterne er simulerede spektralfordelinger med egenskaber lig traditionelle lyskilder, og med høj lyskvalitet. Som en del af dette projekt er disse teknikker blevet anvendt i praktiske belysningsprojekter. De beskrevne eksempler er belysning af historiske genstande og belysning af planter for at øge fotosyntesen. vi Preface This PhD project was carried out in the period from April 2007 to June 2010 at Department of Optics & Plasma (OPL) at Risø National Laboratory, Roskilde and in the Diode Lasers & LED Systems group at DTU Fotonik at Technical University of Denmark.

    Growing Importance of Color in a World of Displays and Data Color In

    Importance of Color in Displays Growing Importance of Color in a World of Displays and Data Color in displays Standards for color space and their importance The television and monitor display industry, through numerous standards bodies, including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and International Commission on Illumination (CIE), collaborate to create standards for interoperability, delivery, and image quality, providing a basis for delivering value to the consumers and businesses that purchase and rely on these displays. In addition to industry-wide standards, proprietary standards developed by commercial entities, such as Adobe RGB and Dolby Vision, drive innovation and customer value. The benefits of standards for color are tangible. They provide the means for: Color information to be device- and application-independent Maintaining color fidelity through the creation, editing, mastering, and broadcasting process Reproducing color accurately and consistently across diverse display devices By defining a uniform color space, encoding system, and broadcast specification relative to an ideal “reference display,” content can be created almost anywhere and transmitted to virtually any device. In order for that content to be shown correctly and in full detail, the display rendering it should be able to reproduce the same color space. While down-conversion to lesser color spaces is possible, the resulting image quality will be reduced. It benefits a consumer, whenever possible and within reasonable spending, to purchase a display with the closest conformance to standards so that they are assured of the best experience in terms of interoperability and image quality. The Color IQ optic that is referenced as Annex 3 of Exemption 39(b) allows displays to meet these standards, and does so at a lower system cost and higher energy efficiency than alternative solutions.

The suitability of LED devices for plant cultivation has turned the technology into a main component in controlled or closed plant-growing environments, experiencing an extremely fast development of horticulture LED metrics. In this context, the present study aims to provide an insight into the current global horticulture LED industry and the present features and potentialities for LEDs’ applications. An updated review of this industry has been integrated through a database compilation of 301 manufacturers and 1473 LED lighting systems for plant growth. The research identifies Europe (40%) and North America (29%) as the main regions for production. Additionally, the current LED luminaires’ lifespans show 10 and 30% losses of light output after 45,000 and 60,000 working hours on average, respectively, while the 1 vast majority of worldwide LED lighting systems present efficacy values ranging from 2 to 3 µmol J− (70%).
  • Those Magnificent Chandeliers We Are

    Those Magnificent Chandeliers We Are

    Those Magnificent Chandeliers We are blessed with a beautiful church, “a model of elegance and good taste” The Mecklenburg Times announced in April 1895 in anticipation of the re-opening of the First Presbyterian Church in Charlotte following an extensive and quite expensive (just over $30,000) rebuilding and remodeling of the church. One of the new and much anticipated features of the 1894-1895 remodeling was the installation of three very large and exquisitely ornate chandeliers. “The First Presbyterian Church is to have the handsomest chandeliers in the State”, revealed the Daily Charlotte Observer in a sneak preview in 1894. Prior to the remodeling, First Presbyterian had been regarded as one the most dimly lit churches in Charlotte, having only 39 lights in total. The Session decided as early as 1888 that new lighting, and lighting with electricity, was highly desirable and some electric lights were added at that time to supplement the gas lights. Electric lighting, though a relatively new technology (it wasn’t until 1883 that the first church in the United States was wired for electricity), was much easier to use and much safer than gas. Electrical lighting was rapidly replacing gas lighting across the country. The chandeliers that were going to adorn First Presbyterian actually had dual fuel capability, thus combining the new technology of electrical lighting with the more proven technology of gas lighting. A fail-safe system seemingly. Each of the chandeliers had 72 lights, 36 electric and 36 gas, for a total potential of 216 lights. Dim lighting at First Presbyterian was going to be a feature of the past.

The die sits in a reflective cup to direct the light outward through an epoxy lens. An LED grow light consists of many diode emitters, a heat sink to pull heat away, cooling fans, and a driver that provides power to the LEDs similar to ballasts in fluorescent lights. • Grow lights have multiple LEDs with different configurations of light chips to provide many different ways of providing lighting to the plant below. How do we know what is needed? • Promote photosynthesis in the plant. •- light-dependent reactions •- light independent reactions •The light-dependent reactions use light to react with water to create chemicals for the light independent reactions. Carbon dioxide is ultimately converted to sugars in this process. • Purpose similar to hemoglobin in blood – absorb energy from the light photos the plant is exposed to. Chlorophyll absorbs in the red and blue regions of the light spectrum. Early on LED manufacturers produced lights with only these spectrum colors. Found this was not enough. • Chlorophyll is green because plants reflect back some of the “green” light but not all. Green Light is absorbed deep within the tissue by Cartenoid compounds Carotenoids cause plant leaves to thicken, increasing their ability to capture more light. Green light can continue to drive photosynthesis when the plant is over exposed to light. Green light can control some diseases and spider mites. Phytochrome – plant growth regulator that functions in the red end of the visible light spectrum – controls internodal elongation and flowering initiation.

One topic that affects lighting technologies is progressing miniaturization. The control electronics, in particular, are still too heavy in relation to the LEDs and determine the form factors. There are two main directions concerning this topic that are dealt with: On the one hand, Micro-LEDs are becoming a rapidly growing segment and optimized optics are required for this purpose. On the other hand, there is the approach of "centralizing" the electronics and supplying the energy via a DC grid. The topics in the automotive sector are also related and offer interesting solutions for miniaturization. The second major area, in addition to miniaturization, is networking and, in a broader sense, Smart/AI controlled systems. This edition also concerns itself with EnOcean technology, a method of transmitting data without energy storage and the DALI standard, an interface that is developed, promoted and supported worldwide by the DiiA organization. The DiiA (Digital Illumination Interface Alliance) will also host the first DALI Summit in Bregenz on September 25th, 2019, which will take place parallel to LpS 2019 and TiL 2019.

  • Grow Light” Application Primer

    Grow Light” Application Primer

    “Grow Light” Application Primer A grow light or plant light is designed to stimulate plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum appropriate for photosynthesis. Grow lights are used in applications where there is either no naturally occurring light, or where supplemental light is required. For example, in the winter months when the available hours of daylight may be insufficient for the desired plant growth, lights are used to extend the time the plants receive light. If plants do not receive enough light, they will grow long and spindly. Grow lights either attempt to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun, or to provide a spectrum that is more tailored to the needs of the plants being cultivated. Outdoor conditions are mimicked with varying color, temperatures and spectral outputs from the grow light, as well as varying the lumen output (intensity) of the lamps. Depending on the type of plant being cultivated, the stage of cultivation (e.g., the germination/vegetative phase or the flowering/fruiting phase), and the photoperiod required by the plants, specific ranges of spectrum, luminous efficacy and color temperature are desirable for use with specific plants and time periods. 1 Page Our LED light engine produces bright and long-lasting grow lights that emit only the wavelengths of light corresponding to the absorption peaks of a plant’s typical photochemical processes. Compared to other types of grow lights, LEDs for indoor plants are attractive because they require significantly less energy to run and produce considerably less heat than incandescent lights. These Grow Modules usually run at around 45-60 degrees Celsius.
