Abstract: Embodiments as disclosed herein provide a method and system that characterizes physical properties, such as thickness, uniformity, polarization, and/or sizes and locations of defect (e.g. defect density distribution) of crystalline structures grown on or thin films deposited on a substrate of a solid state light emitting device. The embodiments disclosed herein generally include exciting the light emitting device with an energy source and analyze optical energy emitted by the crystalline structures grown on or the thin films deposited on the substrate.

Abstract: A system and method of testing High Brightness LED (HBLED) is provided, and more particularly, a system and method of Controlled Energy Testing of HBLED with improved accuracy and repeatability is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a programmable constant power source for providing a constant power to a Device Under Test (DUT), in this case, an HBLED, wherein the programmable constant power source adjusts an output voltage or an output current to ensure that a given amount of power is supplied to the HBLED for a predetermined amount of time and to provide precise control of a junction temperature of the HBLED for the duration of the test sequences; a Parametric Measurement Unit (PMU) including a processor for executing a plurality of HBLED test sequences, and a spectrometer for measuring a set of HBLED parameters including power and color (wavelength) of an optical output of the HBLED; and a controller for coordinating timing of acquiring the set of measured HBLED parameters.
