Deep ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) have a wide range of applications such as water treatment, medical diagnostics, sterilization of medical devices and gas measurement. Depending on the desired application, the emission characteristics of UV light must be optimized. In addition to improving the external quantum efficiency, the radiation properties of the UV LED chip can be influenced and supported by the performance of the housing and the assembly technology.
We will present some results on how to improve the optical performance of UV LED chips through optically UV-transparent materials, which are complemented by some basic aging studies. Furthermore, the influence of differently shaped lenses in combination with and without an integrated aluminum reflector is presented.
We want to show the influence of the different optical and thermal elements individually and in combination to show the possibilities to design the optimal radiator module with the desired properties.
