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. StellarNet’s 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 StellarNet’s 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.

NIST 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.
IS6 - 6'' Integrating Sphere IS12 - 12'' Integrating Sphere 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.
