The influence of the mounting manner on thermal and optical parameters of power LEDs

The paper refers to the investigation results concerning thermal and optical properties of power LEDs. The measuring-set to measure thermal and optical parameters of the considered semiconductor devices is described and some results of measurements of transient thermal impedance and illuminance emitted by power LEDs operating at different cooling conditions are presented. Investigations were performed both for LEDs operating solely and sets of such diodes situated on the common heat-sink.
