Abstract
The goal of this dissertation was to understand the main factors driving heat and light generation and the transport of light and heat in the wavelength-converting layer of an LED system. Another goal was to understand the interaction between heat and light in the system and to develop and analyze a solution to reduce the wavelength-converting layer operating temperature, thereby improving light output and reliability. Even though past studies have explored generation and transfer separately for light and heat, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that has analyzed both factors simultaneously to optimize the performance of a phosphor-converted LED system, thus contributing new knowledge to the field.
