A decomposition optical-mechanical model of a led emitting element

Light-emitting diodes are ahead of traditional light sources in terms of luminous efficacy (luminous flux per unit of electrical power consumption), which arouses an increased interest in the developers of LED lamps in the standard size of incandescent lamps. When designing LED lamps for direct replacement of incandescent lamps, it is necessary to ensure a spherical light distribution in these lighting devices. The design of the lamp with filamentary LED emitting elements is recognized as the best in terms of uniformity of the spatial distribution of light. In this work, a decomposition model of an LED emitting element has been developed, which is created on the basis of the parameters of an optical-mechanical model of LED emitting crystals, and includes the following sequentially performed actions: – construction of a geometric model of the LED emitting element; – determination of the properties of the surface source of the LED emitting element and the angular distribution of radiation of the LED emitting element model as a point emitter; – development of a primary model of an LED crystal with subsequent adjustment of its parameters; – verification of the decomposition model by comparison with the experimentally measured parameters of the LED emitting element. An assessment of the quality of the LED emitting element model as a point emitter was carried out; for this, the averaged measured and modeled LIDCs were superimposed at the same azimuthal angles on top of each other. The discrepancies between the calculated and experimental data do not exceed 10%, which confirms a high accuracy of the LED emitting element model as a point emitter. The resulting file is the properties of the surface source and the value of the luminous flux of the LED emitting element, equal to FW = 254 mW. The model is characterized by increased versatility and can be used for LED emitting elements with an arbitrary configuration of LED crystals and LED lamps based on them.
