Thermal analysis of PDMS light bulbs with a luminophore

Abstract

This article focuses on the production and measurement of incandescent lamps made from polydimethylsiloxane and YAG luminophore. By a suitable combination of these materials along with a light source of a specific wavelength, white colour of light can be achieved. Since the optical power from the light source is fed through a light guide structure to a remote lighting section, the device can be used in hazardous environments such as mines or factories where electromagnetic interference is likely to occur. The study describes temperature characteristics and chromaticity temperature changes of the designed lamp for different luminophore concentrations.
