Effect of Transient and Steady-State Current on the Photothermal Performance of a UVC-LED

A UVC-LED is a deep ultraviolet LED with a wavelength of 200–280 nm, which has a wide range of applications in disinfection, water purification and other fields. However, UVC-LED chips have limitations of high heat and poor heat dissipation, so it is necessary to test and analyze the thermal and optical properties of UVC-LEDs. This paper studies the photothermal characteristics of a UVC-LED under different driving currents. By measuring and analyzing the radiation flux, radiation intensity, junction temperature and thermal resistance of the UVC-LED under different driving currents, it is found that the junction temperature of the UVC-LED under the transient and steady state increases with the increase in the driving current, while the thermal resistance decreases. The radiation flux and intensity of the UVC-LED increase with the increase in driving current. The peak wavelength appears as a redshift with the increase in current, and the half-wave width also increases with the increase in current.
