  • Abstract
    The LED community is ensnared in a long-running and contentious debate over the origin of a phenomenon called droop, the decline in the efficiency of blue and white emitters as their current is cranked up. Solving this mystery will enable the design of droopbusting LED architectures that will make brighter, cheaper solid-state lighting.
