More and
more incandescent lights are being replaced by LEDs each
day. LEDs have the advantages of increased efficiency, color
specificity, size, response time, lifetime, and numerous
other factors. StellarNets line of low cost miniature
spectroradiometers are the perfect tool to analyze LEDs
for both irradiant output, color, spectral profiling, and
a handful of other useful values.
Spectrometers
for LED Measurement
These miniature rugged spectrometers are calibrated to test
LED optical output in Luminous & Radiant Flux, spectral
irradiance and LUX, microwatts/cm2, moles per second, PAR,
Footcandles, CRI & CQS. Currently, StellarNet offers
LED measurement systems in the 200-2300nm range. A majority
of StellarNets spectrometers can be configured for
LED measurement including the BLUE-Wave, High Resolution,
High Sensitivity SILVER-Nova, and DWARF-Star NIR spectrometer
models. The spectrometers can additionally be calibrated
with our NIST traceable lamps for absolute intensity to
be used to capture LED intensity profiles and shape. Typically
an integrating sphere such as the IC2 2? or IS6 6? or IS12
12? integrating sphere is used with a radiant flux calibration
(RAD-CAL).

Visible
LED Measurement Spectrometers
The StellarNet miniature spectrometers are fiber optically
coupled instruments with a wide selection of models for
LED measurements in 200-1150nm wavelength ranges. BLACK-Comet
and BLUE-Wave models are both very popular with LED testing
|
 |
Visible
High Resolution (HR) and High Sensitivity (SILVER-Nova) Spectrometers
The HR spectrometers have double the resolution over standard
models with the same grating. The wavelength range is reduced
by the same factor. Resolutions better than 0.1nm can be achieved
depending on selected model range, detector, and slit size.
The SILVER-Nova and SILVER-Nova-TEC-X2 offer the highest sensitivity
with Thermo electric coolers down 15 & 30 degrees respectively
which increase detection capabilities for low light LED measurement. |
 |
Near-Infrared
LED Test Spectrometers
The DWARF-Star and RED-Wave NIR spectrometers can be spectrally
calibrated for NIR LED testing from 900-1700nm. StellarNet
offers various optional ranges with increase spectral resolution.
Likewise a NIR can be paired with a visible unit to give you
broadband spectral analysis over the 200-1100nm range. |
StellarNet low cost LED Measurement Systems reliably
test LED optical output in Luminous & Radiant Flux,
spectral irradiance and LUX, microwatts/cm2, moles per

StellarNet offers LED testing systems for comparing
LED Lumens, CCT, x,y chromaticity, dominant wavelength

Calibrations
StellarNet Calibration ServicesThe factory performs calibrations
for the appropriate wavelength range of your spectrometer using
NIST traceable calibration lamps (calibration service IRRAD-CAL
must be ordered with spectrometer and proper measurement accessories)
Fast delivery:
most system can be calibrated and shipped within 1 week after
receipt of order.
Absolute
calibration: accuracy within 10% at detector integration setting
used for calibration.
Certificate
available: documentation with NIST traceable serial numbers.
If the user
has an appropriate irradiance calibration source lamp, a field
re-calibration can be easily performed using the included
SpectraWiz software.

StellarNet
Integrating Spheres test LED light with an 180° field
of view. The IC2 is a 2'' internal diameter sphere with 2 SMA
connectors for illumination and light collection. The input
port is 5/8''. The IS6 and IS12 are 6'' and 12'' StellarNet
integrating spheres with 2.5'' input port with internal white
coating. Mounting tripods and other accessories are available
for LED measurement. |

IS2
- 2'' Integrating Sphere |
IS6 is a 6 diameter integrating sphere with a
2.0 input port, internal reflective coating, baffle system,
and SMA fiber optic output. StellarNet 6? integrating spheres
are now available with several port accessories such as calibration
lamps, caps, SMA-couplers, and reducers.
IS12
For internal LED device mounting. The StellarSphere-IS12
is a 12 diameter integrating sphere featuring a vertical
hinge that opens to allow access to the sample stage. The
sample stage is equipped with powered device mounting sockets
with a variety of detachable socket options. In addition,
the StellarSphere-IS12 includes a tungsten halogen lamp and
data file for system calibration using the SpectraWiz®
radiometer application software. The IS12 option is
best for customers trying to capture all of their LEDs emitted
light for spectral analysis and total Lumen measurements.
IC2
is a 2 cube with internal integrating sphere. It has
5/8 input port and SMA fiber optic output. Another SMA
input can be used for reflectance illumination. Select the
IC2-TP miniature tripod for mounting the IC2 for alignment
and repeatable measurement.

Low Light Configurations
Many popular applications involve measuring the irradiance of light
sources with low output intensities. From ambient streetlight to UV-LEDs
many people need to detect low levels of radiation. StellarNet spectrometers
can be specially configured to measure these low light levels. The
spectrometer aperture or slit can be adjusted to allow more light
into the unit, thus making it more sensitive to radiation. For low
light applications a 200um slit is the standard slit size. Additionally,
low light level calibrations can be employed to further optimize the
spectrometers ability to see low light levels. And lastly, a TEC cooler
can be installed on the detector array to increase the signal to noise
of the unit by 66%. This in affect allows the spectrometer to integrate
over longer periods of time, collecting more and more photons, while
keeping a low noise value. If you have a low light application be
sure to discuss the configuration of your spectrometer. |
Bright Light
Configurations
In contrast, many industries require the measurement of really bright
light emission. StellarNet spectrometers have a dynamic range of
6 decades allowing integration times from 1ms to 65s. StellarNet
spectrometers can be specially configured for high power applications.
The limitation of a high power radiometer will be limited by the
power of the calibration source. StellarNet can configure Spectroradiometers
to optimize calibration thus allowing the use of the units large
dynamic range and detector linearity to allow high power light measurement.
Additionally, smaller slits, fibers, and integration spheres can
be employed to decrease the signal to the spectrometer. StellarNet
offers a high light level calibration to further optimize the system
performance.

BLACK-Comet
spectral overlay of UV LEDs tested for our SL1-LED UV kit. In order
to choose the best LEDs for fluorescence excitation it is required
that the StellarNet R&D test all incoming LEDs for wavelength
and absolute intensity as compared to the manufacturers specifications.
|
BLUE-Wave-VIS
model miniature spectrometer can be calibrated for irradiance measurements
also. The spectrometer has a range from 350-1150nm and can be calibrated
for irradiance measurements (IRRAD-CAL). BLUE-Wave spectrometers have
the advantage of being smaller and powered by USB; however, lack the
benefits of research grade concave grating optics. Contact me to determine
the best spectrometer for your LED analysis.
