Abstract
Limited sources exist for the application of germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) radiation. Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have significantly improved in efficiency and are becoming another viable source for GUV. We have developed a mean differential continuous pulse method (M-DCP method) for optical measurements of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). The new M-DCP method provides an improvement on measurement uncertainty by one order of magnitude compared to the unpublished differential continuous pulse method (DCP method). The DCP method was already a significant improvement of the continuous pulse method (CP method) commonly used in the LED industry. The new M-DCP method also makes it possible to measure UV-LEDs with high accuracy. Here, we present the DCP method, discuss the potential systematic error sources in it, and present the M-DCP method along with its reduced systematic errors. This paper also presents the results of validation measurement of LEDs using the M-DCP method and common test instruments.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
