  • Publication number: 20150204718
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring a light radiation (300) emitted by a light-emitting diode (210). In the method, an end (121) of an optical fibre (120) which is connected to a measuring device (130) is irradiated with the light radiation (300), which is emitted by the light-emitting diode (210), through an optical device (140), so that a portion of the light radiation (300) is coupled into the optical fibre (120) and is guided to the measuring device (130). The optical device (140) causes the light radiation (300) passing through the optical device (140) to be emitted in diffuse form in the direction of the end (121) of the optical fibre (120). The invention also relates to an apparatus (100) for measuring a light radiation (300) emitted by a light-emitting diode (210).
