Complete setup for professional measurement of single LEDs and small LED modules

Whether in the visible range or for applications in UV and IR, the LED has established itself everywhere as a light and radiation source. Qualification of this narrow-band semiconductor lighting in development and quality assurance calls for fastidious spectroradiometric observation. This is only possible with the aid of complex measurement technology.

With the LEDGON system Instrument Systems has developed a measuring system that is easy to use and ideal for fully automatic determination of all the relevant photometric parameters of single LEDs or small LED modules. Besides the visible range, its usage extends from 200 nm in UV to 2150 nm in IR.

The system comprises a lightproof LEDGON 100 goniometer and a spectroradiometer of the CAS series, together with an optional electrical sample control. The compact setup in a lightproof housing permits operation outside the darkroom typically required for a light lab.

Key Features:

  • Motorized 2-axis goniometer in a lightproof housing
  • High angle precision and reproducibility with an angle resolution of up to 0.1° for the entire anterior half-space of light emission
  • Maximum accuracy and stability as well as metrological traceability from UV to IR due to high-end spectroradiometers of the CAS series
  • Display and further analysis of readings by comprehensive spectral software

Requirements

An extensive set of parameters is required for complete characterization of LED-based sources. These include:

  • Spectral intensity distribution
  • Radiation power
  • Color attributes
  • Spatial distribution of emissions (radiance distribution)
  • Energetic efficiency of radiation generation

The measurement technology used must meet the highest accuracy requirements with a reliable degree of stability. LEDGON systems from Instrument Systems satisfy these requirements in every respect. They are thus used for the qualification of LED sources in many light labs over a wide range of industries.
