Abstract :
In case of opto-electronic devices, the power applied on the device leaves in a parallel heat and light transport, the interpretation of Rth is not obvious. The paper shows results of a combined optical and thermal measurement for the characterization of power light emitting diodes (LEDs). A model explaining Rth changes at different current levels is proposed.
