A practical GaN LED used in SSL systems is simulated for light propagation. The optical properties of dispersive materials are modeled using multi-pole Lorentz-Drude model. The input dipole source for the LED structure is modeled explicitly through a Gaussian pulse line source at a central wavelength of 460 nm corresponding to GaN emission. Finally, the expression for combined standard uncertainty in the light extraction efficiency due to uncertainties in inputs such as emission in the active layer and EM fields is developed using the GUM law of propagation of uncertainties. The uncertainty in GaN LED emission wavelength obtained from Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum is computed to be 16.98 nm. Therefore, the uncertainty analysis model is then used to compute the corresponding uncertainties in the LED output measurements i.e. light extraction efficiency, LED output power and EM fields. |
