22. Define external power efficiency. Give the corresponding formula and explain it briefly.
The external power efficiency of the device ηep in converting electrical input to optical output is given by:
ƞep=PePX 100 %
= PeVIX 100 % = ƞT
EgVX 100 %
Where P=IV is the d.c. electrical input power and Pe = power emitted
23. What is the spectral bandwidth of an LED? Draw the spectral bandwidth curve and
explain.
Spectral bandwidth is the wavelength interval in which a radiated spectral quantity is not less
than half its maximum value. It is a measure of the extent of the spectrum. For
a Light Source typical spectral widths are 20 to 60 nm for a LED . LED’s are narrow band
emitters. Typically, the bandwidth is 30nm wide. ILT Light Sources LED’s have spectral peaks
from 430nm up to 700nm in the visible light range and 880nm and 940nm in the near infrared
range. The spectral properties of an LED are important to aid manufacturers in their design
efforts and process control. End-users use these values in determining the correct LED for their
application.
