Agrand LampThe design based on the research conducted by
A. L. Lavoisier who discovered that combustion is due to oxygen in the air. The lamp was demonstrated to King George III,
and Agrand was granted an English patent (No 1425 of 1784).

History of Lighting(continued)
• 1772 - gas lighting introduced by Scottish inventor William Murdoch
• Limelight - the first solid-state lighting device (introduced by Thomas Drummond in 1826)
Cylinder of lime (calcium oxide)brought to a state of dazzling brilliancy by the flame of the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe

Candoluminescence and Gas Mantle
• The emission was due to a– candoluminescence -discovered by Goldsworthy Gurney in 1820.
• Candoluminescence is caused by thermal excitation of ions, which emit in excess of black body incandescence
• Limelight was used in theaters in the 1860’s and 1870’s until superseded by the electric arc.
• In 1886, the candoluminescence-based the gas mantle – a fabric of cotton soaked in a solution of a metallic salt (a mixture of cerium oxide and thorium oxide with a ratio 1:99 heated by high temperature non-luminous flame from the Bunsen burner light source
• Invented by by Auer von Welsbach and used widely in the first third of the 20th century
• It still can be found in kerosene and gas lamps.

The Dawn of Electric Lighting• 17-th century, effect of the luminous discharge of static
electricity in mercury vapor was discovered • Beginning of the 19th century, Sir Humphry Davy
demonstrated a discharge between two rods of carbon (an arc) and a glowing of a piece of wire heated by electric current (incandescence).
• He used a battery made of 2000 pairs of copper and zinc elements invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800.
• The change from flame to electric power in lighting technology happened only in 1870’s, when Z. T. Grammeintroduced an efficient continuous-current generator (dynamo).

Lighting in 2001• Residential lighting - tungsten incandescent lamps
(Or a compact fluorescence lamp (CFL) with higher efficiency)
• Work environments - fluorescence lamp• Street lighting – ugly sodium lamp. • However, all this is about to change
because of explosive development of high brightness visible Light Emitting Diodes

Importance of Solid State Lighting
• 21% of electric energy use is in lighting• Half of this energy can be saved by switching to efficient
and cold solid-state lighting sources• Projected financial savings from solid-state lighting might
reach $115 billion by year 2020• Solid-state lighting will use visible and UV LEDs that are
expected to reach lifetimes exceeding 100,000 hours• At present, LEDs are the most efficient sources of colored
light in almost entire visible spectral range. • White phosphor-conversion LEDs already surpassed
incandescent lamps in performance

Luminance• The concept of luminous intensity is not directly applicable
to an extended source of light • Such sources are described by luminance, which is the
quotient of the luminous flux propagating from an element of the surface and observed at an angle per unit solid angle
• The luminance is measured in candelas per square meter (cd/m2).
• Scotopic vision dominates at luminance below 10-2 cd/m2
• Above 10 cd/m2 the vision is completely photopic. • The sun viewed from the sea level exhibits the average
luminance of 1.6×109 cd/m2, and the luminance of the moon is approximately 2500 cd/m2.

Illuminance
• The measurement unit for illuminance is lumen per square meter, also called lux (lx).
• Sun generates the illuminance on the earth’s surface from 104 lx to 105 lx depending on cloudiness; the illuminance by the moon does not exceed 0.1 lx.
• The higher is the illuminance, the higher is the ability of the eye to distinguish details, small contrasts and color hues. Therefore, different activities require different levels of illuminance.

Incandescent Bulb - A True Challenge • filament is wound into a helix to reduce the heat conducted into surrounding
gas• further reduction of gas loss is achieved by secondary coiling of the primary
coil• filament is supported by molybdenum wires and electrically connected to the
leads made from nickel or nickel-plated wires. • The design usually comprises a copper-nickel fuse• The bulb is made of soda-lime silicate glass and the cap is made of
aluminum or brass.• Matching of the thermal expansion and stability of the glass-metal seal is
provided by Dumet wires (• bulb is filled with high-atomic-weight inert gas (argon and, rarely, krypton). • nitrogen is used to prevent formation of an arc during the filament failure. • To reduce blackening of the bulb, some getter is added for absorption of any
remainder of oxygen and moisture. • To diffuse and to direct the light, inside frosting and integral reflectors are
used• Plus marketing for a total cost of 50 cents

Tungsten Halogen Lamps• If the tungsten evaporation rate is reduced, the filament of
the incandescent lamp might operate at higher temperature, and the lifetime of the lamp may increase.
• The addition of a halogen to the gas filling is known to establish a chemical transport cycle, in which tungsten forms halides when diffusing from the hot filament towards the cooler wall.
• Tungsten halides diffuse in the opposite direction and dissociate at the filament. The transport cycle results in nearly zero concentration of the tungsten at the bulb wall and in an increased concentration at the filament.
• As a result, filament temperatures as high as 3450 K can be achieved, with a consequent improvement in efficiency.

FLUORESCENT LAMPS• When a large enough electric field is applied to a gas, the
gas breaks down and partially ionizes. The resulting conductive plasma comprises electrons as well as a mixture of ionized and neutral particles, some of which are excited
• By limiting the electric current limitation (by introducing a ballast in the circuit), the discharge is prevented from avalanche ionization and stabilized. The fluorescent lamps utilize low-pressure discharge, in which electrons are accelerated to effective temperatures typically of 11,000-13,000 K, while ions remain almost in thermal equilibrium with the environment (≈310 K).

FLUORESCENT LAMPS (cont)• Fast electrons inelastically relax by exciting atoms, molecules
and ions, which might emit light. • At present, two efficient low-pressure discharge emitters
are utilized – vapors of mercury and sodium. • Sodium emits yellow light, which is directly used, mostly for
street lighting • At low pressures, the major part of the emission from mercury
atoms is in UV owing to the radiative transition from the excited 3P1 state to the ground state (4.886 eV/253.7 nm).
• In a fluorescent lamp, visible radiation is produced by photoluminescence in phosphors, which are deposited on the wall of a tubular bulb. UV photons reach the wall via radiative transport, i. e. by multiple reabsorption and reemission by other mercury atoms.

• Since the luminous efficacy of the D-line is about 530 lm/W, the theoretical efficiency of the LPS lamp is extremely high. Despite that 60-80% of the power is wasted for infrared radiation and heat losses, the luminous efficiencies (100-200 lm/W) are the highest among present practical lamps.
• The wattage of the marketed LPS lamps is from 18 to 180 W with the light outputs ranging from 1,800 to 33,000 lm.
• The failure is due to deterioration of cathodes and typical lifetimes are 14,000-18,000 hours.
• The main disadvantage of the LPS lams is a very poor color rendering.

HIGH-PRESSURE DISCHARGE LAMPS
• Heavy particles (atoms and ions) are heated almost to the same temperatures as the electrons, owing to the high rate of elastic collisions. At pressures of around 1 atmosphere, the temperature of the plasma is typically in the range of 4,000-6,000 K.
• Most of the light is generated in the hot center of the arc. However, because of the temperature gradient, heat flows out of the center decreasing the radiative efficiency to approximately 60%.
• High pressure leads to collision broadening of the line spectra. The resulting wide emission bands considerably improve the color rendering of the light.

Metal Halide Lamps• Luminous efficiency and color rendering of the high-
pressure mercury discharge lamp may by considerably improved by introducing metal halides
• As soon as the tube wall reaches sufficient temperature, a metal halide evaporates and starts a transport cycle
• At the hot core of the discharge, the halide dissociates and produces metal atoms that contribute to the emission. When the metal atoms diffuse towards the cooler region at the wall, they recombine with the halogen to form the halide, which does not react with the wall material.
• The operation pressure of the additive metals is in the range of 10-100 torr (1300-13,000 Pa). Although this pressure is small in comparison with the pressure of mercury (typically 1-20 Atm), the additive metals produce a considerable part of light because their excitation energy (around 4 eV) is lower than that of mercury (7.8 eV).

Applications• Diverse wattage, dimensions, and other specification • High brightness and good color rendering characteristics
make them applicable for general lighting services in offices, supermarkets, large stores, and in a lot of industrial and social environments
• High-luminosity units are indispensable for floodlights• Low-power short-arc MH lamps gave birth to new kind of
economic, precise, small-dimension, and long lifetime vehicle headlights.

Absorption Losses and Photon Recycling
• Most of the losses are due to the absorption in the active layer and in the surrounding transparent cladding and window layers
• The losses in the active layer depend on the probability of the light reemission: absorbed photons can experience reincarnation and get a new chance to find the escape cone.
• If the internal quantum efficiency is high, the photon would be recycled many times until it escapes
• (Theory of the photon recycling in LEDs is discussed by T.Baba et al., Jpn. J. Appl. Phys. 35, 97, 1997 and references therein).

External Quantum Efficiency and Active Layer
• 72% external quantum efficiency was demonstrated in an opticallypumped AlGaAs/GaAs double heterostructure mounted on a high-reflectivity surface (I. Schnitzer et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 63, 2174,1993).
• Multiple recycling of the photons was due to the internal quantum efficiency as high as 99.7%.
• In practical LEDs, the internal quantum efficiency is lower than 100% and the absorption in the active layer is often considered as parasitic. Therefore, thin active layers (homogenous or comprised of multiple wells) are often preferred.
• There is an optimum active layer thickness because of a trade-off between the active-layer reabsorption and electron confinement, and this thickness depends on the emission wavelength
• (Gardner et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 74 (15), 2230, 1999).
