The low output and lack of color options of LEDs limited the technology to these uses for some time. New LED materials and improved production processes have produced bright LEDs in colors throughout the visible spectrum, including white light. With efficacies greater than incandescent (and approaching that of fluorescent lamps) along with their durability, small size, and light weight, LEDs are finding their way into many new applications within the lighting community. These new applications have placed increasingly stringent demands on the optical characterization of LEDs, which serves as the fundamental baseline for product quality and product design.

Wang Radiometry Radiometry is the detection and measurement of light waves in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is further divided into ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Example of a typical radiometer 3 W. Wang Photometry All light measurement is considered radiometry with photometry being a special subset of radiometry weighted for a typical human eye response. Example of a typical photometer 4 W. Wang Human Eyes Figure shows a schematic illustration of the human eye (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1994). The inside of the eyeball is clad by the retina, which is the light-sensitive part of the eye. The illustration also shows the fovea, a cone-rich central region of the retina which affords the high acuteness of central vision. Figure also shows the cell structure of the retina including the light-sensitive rod cells and cone cells. Also shown are the ganglion cells and nerve fibers that transmit the visual information to the brain. Rod cells are more abundant and more light sensitive than cone cells. Rods are 5 sensitive over the entire visible spectrum. W. Wang There are three types of cone cells, namely cone cells sensitive in the red, green, and blue spectral range. The approximate spectral sensitivity functions of the rods and three types or cones are shown in the figure above 6 W. Wang Eye sensitivity function The conversion between radiometric and photometric units is provided by the luminous efficiency function or eye sensitivity function, V(λ).

  • [V2C2-09P70] 2.9 Radiant Intensity
    70 RADIOMETRY AND PHOTOMETRY VOL. I I 2.9 Radiant Intensity The concept of radiant intensity, the last of the set of basic radiometric concepts to be introduced in this chapter, is designed to give a measure of the solid angle density of radiant flux. Thus radiant intensity is a dual concept to irradiance in the sense that the latter gives a measure of the area density of radiant flux while the former gives a measure of the solid angle density of radiant flux. At one time the concept of radiant intensity enjoyed the place now occupied by radiant flux. In the days of the candle and gas lamp there were very few artificial extended light sources. The controlled artificial point source, such as a candle's flame, was the sole basis for radiometric standards and its radiant output was conveniently measured in terms of intensity. However, with the passing of years the numbers of extended artificial light sources increased and the classical mode of use of radiant intensity has become correspondingly less frequent than that of radiant flux. Eventually radiance for the most part usurped the once centrally disposed radiant intensity concept. Despite this displacement of radiant intensity's status, it appears that there will always exist times when its use arises naturally. For example when emitting 'point sources' are considered, the use of radiant intensity seems automatically indicated. This useful aspect of radiant intensity will be discussed during its systematic development, to which we now turn. Operational Definition of Empirical Radiant Intensity In presenting the concept of radiant intensity we shall be guided by operational considerations so as to give the concept a secure footing relative to the other radiometric concepts already defined.
