In this study, optical multisensor systems based on molecular emitters as a light source are introduced. To obtain such light sources, cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes and Cu(I)-based complexes were synthetized and investigated. Since each complex has its own emission spectrum in the visible range, it is possible to choose an appropriate set of emitters for specific analytical tacks. The developed analytical device was successfully applied for fluoride and phosphate quantification in surface water.

Routine Work

The research object of this work is the parameters of organic light-emitting diodes, namely power and luminous flux. Determination of these parameters can be carried out using a photodiode and requires measuring the dark current of the sensor (photodiode), measuring the current of the photodiode when illuminated by the LED under investigation. And also take into account the relationship between the light flux received by the sensor and its output current, and take into account the spectral characteristics of the sensor. Calculate the investigated parameters of the LED based on the measurements. Carrying out these measurements requires laboratory instruments and workplace organization, and further calculations are routine work. It is possible to increase the measurement accuracy by improving the existing methods for measuring the required parameters, and it is possible to automate the process of measurements and calculations using a modern microprocessor radioelement base. Microcontrollers are widespread such radioelements. They have the necessary peripherals for independent operation and have sufficient computing power to implement the required measuring device. Its application makes it possible to automate the measurement process, carry out the necessary calculations, save correction constants, accumulate and process the obtained data, analyze these received data, exchange data with a computer, etc. So, the work is aimed at developing a methodology that will allow the simultaneous measurement of power and luminous flux of planar light sources. And also on the feasibility of this technique in the device and software with the ability to measure the power of the light source in an arbitrary band of the spectral visible range. Thus, it is possible to determine what power in watts a light source emits with the dynamics of supply currents in the optical bands, knowing the spectrum of this source without using glass filters. So, the result of applying the technique is to determine the power of light radiation (in watts) or the luminous flux (in lumens) of the emitter (light sources).

Lighting Application

In the case of light-emitting diode (LED) seaport luminaires, they should be designed in consideration of glare, average illuminance, and overall uniformity. Although it is possible to implement light distribution through auxiliary devices such as reflectors, it means increasing the weight and size of the luminaire, which reduces the feasibility. Considering the special environment of seaport luminaires, which are installed at a height of 30 m or more, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the device, facilitate replacement, and secure a light source with a long life. In this paper, an optimized lens design was investigated to provide uniform light distribution to meet the requirement in the seaport lighting application. Four types of lens were designed and fabricated to verify the uniform light distribution requirement for the seaport lighting application. Using numerical analysis, we optimized the lens that provides the required minimum overall uniformity for the seaport lighting application. A theoretical analysis for the heatsink structure and shape were conducted to reduce the heat from the high-power LED light sources up to 250 W. As a result of these analyses on the heat dissipation characteristics of the high-power LED light source used in the LED seaport luminaire, the heatsink with hexagonal-shape fins shows the best heat dissipation effect. Finally, a prototype LED seaport luminaire with an optimized lens and heat sink was fabricated and tested in a real seaport environment. The light distribution characteristics of this prototype LED seaport luminaire were compared with a commercial high-pressure sodium luminaire and metal halide luminaire.

This paper is concerned with designing light source spectra for optimum luminous efficacy and colour rendering. We demonstrate that it is possible to design light sources that can provide both good colour rendering and high luminous efficacy by combining the outputs of a number of narrowband spectral constituents. Also, the achievable results depend on the numbers and wavelengths of the different spectral bands utilized in the mixture. Practical realization of these concepts has been demonstrated in this pilot study which combines a number of simulations with tests using real LEDs (light emitting diodes). Such sources are capable of providing highly efficient lighting systems with good energy conservation potential. Further research is underway to investigate the practicalities of our proposals in relation to large-scale light source production.

Abstract In this study, we use the FLASH radiation hydrodynamic code and the FLYCHK atomic code to investigate the energy conversion and spectra associated with laser–Sn target interactions with 1 µm and 2 µm wavelength lasers. We found that the conversion efficiency (CE) reached as much as 3.38% with the 2 µm laser, which is 1.48 percentage points higher than the 1 µm laser (CE = 1.9%). In addition, we analyzed the contribution of dominant ionization states to the emission spectrum for both lasers. We observed that the growths of the out-of-band emission eventually led to a broadening of the spectrum, resulting in a reduction of SP for the 1 µm laser. By contrast, the emission main peaks were all centered near 13.5nm for the 2 µm laser, which is beneficial for efficient emission of light with a 13.5 nm wavelength (relevant for nanolithographic applications).

Abstract Microscale surface structures are commonly found on macroscale bodies of natural creatures for their unique functions. However, it is difficult to fabricate such multi-scale geometry with conventional stereolithography processes that rely on either laser or digital micromirror device (DMD). More specifically, the DMD-based mask projection method displays the image of a cross-section of the part on the resin to fabricate the entire layer efficiently; however, its display resolution is limited by the building area. In comparison, the laser-based vector scanning method builds smooth features using a focused laser beam with desired beam-width resolution; however, it has less throughput for its sequential nature. In this paper, we studied the hybrid-light-source stereolithography process that integrates both optical light sources to facilitate the fabrication of macro-objects with microscale surface structures (called micro-textures in the paper). The hardware system uses a novel calibration approach that ensures pixel-level dimensional accuracy across the two light sources. The software system enables designing the distribution and density of specific microscale textures on a macro-object by generating projection images and laser toolpaths for the two integrated light sources. Several test cases were fabricated to demonstrate the capability of the developed process. A large fabrication area (76.8 mm × 80.0 mm) with 50 μm micro-features can be achieved with a high throughput.

Supplementary Lighting

Supplementary lighting is commonly used in high-quality seedling production. In this study, grafted tomato seedlings were grown for 10 days in a glasshouse with 16-h daily supplementary lighting at 100 μmol·m−2·s−1 PPFD (Photosynthetic photon flux density) from either high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide (MH), far-red (FR), white LEDs (Light emitting diodes) (W), or mixed LEDs (W1R2B1, where the subscript numbers indicate the ratio of the LED chips) to determine which light sources improve the seedling quality. The control seedlings did not receive any supplementary light. Physiological parameters and the expression of genes related to photosynthesis were analyzed. The results showed that root length, biomass, number of leaves, chlorophyll (SPAD), scion dry weight to height ratio (WHR), and specific leaf weight (SLW) were the greatest for grafted seedlings grown in W1R2B1. The level of root ball formation was the greatest for seedlings grown in W1R2B1, followed by those grown in W, HPS, and MH. Seedlings grown in FR did not fare well, as they were very thin and weak. Moreover, the expression of two photosynthetic genes (PsaA and PsbA) was significantly increased by W1R2B1 and W, which suggests that the plastid or nuclear genes might be regulated. The overall results suggest that W1R2B1 was the most suitable light source to enhance the quality of grafted tomato seedlings. The results of this study could be used as a reference for seedling production in glasshouses, and may provide new insights in the research on lights affecting the development of plants.

Article presents a new approach to the analysis of spectrometric data obtained by modern spectrometers in the visible range of wavelengths for surveys of surface water bodies. The efficiency of the new approach in the interpretation of spectrometric data in the visible range is shown with the use, proposed by us, of the space of optical images (SOI) formed by a combination of experimental and model ranges of the remote sensing reflectance (RS). The RS ranges calculated parallel to measuring the absorbance indexes in particular hydrological seasons with a known structural composition of phytoplankton permit us to gradate the SOI with respect to the structural composition of phytoplankton. The curve of the status of the ecosystem of the Don River constructed by the data of remote spectrometry shows changes in the structure of phytoplankton during the observation period.
