Abstract:
Two kinds of 1 W white high power light emitting diode (LED) were made by packaging blue chips from Taiwan and US. The chips were coated by the same phosphor and transparent silica gel. Optical properties of the two kinds of LEDs were investigated in the temperature range of 15-75 degrees C and at the current of 350 mA. The results show that temperature badly affects the optical parameters such as peak wavelength, radiant flux, color temperature and so on. After analyzing the PL spectrum, the relationship between temperature and LED performance was found. The reasons for optical parameters vs. temperature were theoretically analyzed. Some suggestions were given to reduce the influence of temperature on power LED.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
