A phosphor-conversion white light source is demonstrated using an InGaN-based blue laser diode (LD) and a yellow-emitting phosphor excited by the blue LD. The photometric and colorimetric properties of this blue-LD-based white light source are characterized. When injection current of the LD is 100 mA, luminous flux and luminous efficiency of the white light are found to be over 5 lm and 10 lm/W, respectively. When injection current is >90 mA, luminance is estimated to be larger than 10 Mcd/$cm^2$. In addition, color characteristics of the white light such as chromaticity coordinates, a correlated color temperature, and a color rendering index are found to be quite stable as current and temperature of the LD varies. The demonstrated LD-based white light source is expected to be used in high-brightness illumination applications with good color stability.

There are several technological problems have to be resolved for LEDs to be used as a general purpose light source. In addition, there are several differences between existing luminaires and the general planer LED luminaire for the intensity distribution. Therefore, the optical engineer then faces the challenging a problem of designing for a spatially extended and non-uniform light source. In the previous studies on the optical design of luminaires, a lot of studies on reflectors and light source have been conducted but the ones on prisms and lenses are insufficient at present. This study developed the numerical model of planar prism LED luminaire to control luminous intensity distribution of LED luminaires. And this study presents an optical calculation process for the prism optical design of a planar prism LED luminaire and a comparison of the simulation results between the developed numerical model and Photopia 2.0 to verify the accuracy of the numerical model. In addition, this study showed a method for the control of various luminous intensity distribution from the developed numerical model.

This paper dealt with the condensing technology of an LED light source that uses a parabolic reflector to replace a searchlight equipped with a xenon lamp. A ray-tracing simulation was conducted to analyze the influence of the diameter of the reflector and the size of the light source on light condensing. The combination of a parabolic reflector with a diameter of 620 mm and a focal distance of 220 mm, and a 9 mm multi-chip package (MCP) with a luminous flux of 7,000 lm showed the narrowest beam angle. The luminous intensity at the center was measured at 7.7×10⁶ cd. The distance between the light source and the point where the illuminance was 1 lx was calculated to be 2.8 km. The power consumption of the system was 95 W, which is only 9.5% of that of the 1 kW xenon searchlight, and the beam angle was 1.03°. In a site experiment, it was confirmed that the light ray reflected from the LED searchlight proceeds forward without any diffusion because of the narrow beam angle.

This paper represents an efficient algorithm to segment objects from the background using multiple images of distinct luminous intensities. The proposed algorithm obtains images with different luminous intensities using a camera flash. From the multiple intensities for a pixel, a saturated luminous intensity is estimated together with the slope of intensity rate. Then, we measure the sensitivities of pixels from their slopes. The sensitivities show different patterns according to the distances from the light source. Therefore, the proposed algorithm segments near objects using the sensitivity information by minimizing an energy function. Experimental results on various objects show that the proposed algorithm provides accurate results without any user interaction.

A new Current-Controlled Driving Method that can drive AC PDPs with low voltage and high luminous efficiency for the sustaining period is presented. In this driving method, the voltage source is connected to a storage capacitor and the stored voltage is delivered to the panel through LC resonance. Thus, this driving method can drive the panel with a voltage source as low as about half of the voltage necessary in the conventional driving methods. The discharge current flowing into the AC PDP is limited in this method. Thus, the power consumption for the discharge is reduced and the discharge input power to output luminance efficiency is improved. Experimental results using this driving method showed that we could drive an AC PDP with a voltage source as low as 146V and that high luminous efficiency of 1.33 1m／W can be achieved.

In this paper, We studied two methods to measure optical characteristics of an electrodeless light source using the integrating sphere(diameter 1.5m). One is to use a center measurement method and the other is to use a side measurement method. As a result of analysis, a side measurement methode without auxiliary lamp is almost similar against a center measurement with auxiliary lamp to reduce a measurement of an error for luminous flux, luminous efficacy and spectral distribution etc. Therefore, Sample which cannot measured by reason of big size and heavy weight can be measured by a side measurement method.

In this paper, we observed degradation characteristics of luminous flux for new light source. Because degradation tests can be a useful tool for assessing the reliability when few or even no failures are expected in a life tests. And we use a simple random coefficient degradation model to induce most suitable equation of degradation. As a result, exponential distribution and equation is best suitable model for new light source.

We analyze the dependence of the mass-to-light ratio of spiral galaxies on the present star formation rate (SFR), and find that galaxies with high present star formation rates have low mass-to-light ratios, presumably as a result of the enhanced luminosity. On this basis we argue that variations in the stellar content of galaxies result in a major source of intrinsic scatter in the Tully-Fisher relation (TF relation). Ideally one should use a 'population-corrected' luminosity. We have also analyzed the relation between the (maximum) luminous mass and rotational velocity, and find it to have a small scatter. We therefore propose that the physical basis of the Tully-Fisher relation lies in a relationship between the luminous mass and rotational velocity, in combination with a 'well-behaved' relation between luminous and dark matter. This implies that the Tully-Fisher relation is a combination of two independent relations: (i) a relation between luminosity and (luminous) mass, based mainly on the star formation history in galaxies, and (ii) a relation between mass and rotation velocity, which is the outcome of the process of galaxy formation. In addition to a 'population-corrected' Tully-Fisher relation, one may also use the relation between mass and luminosity, and the relation between luminous mass and rotation velocity as distance estimators.

조도단위계로부터 전광선속의 단위계를 실현하기 위해서 전광선속 측정장치를 제작하여 광도측정의 단위계를 복사선 측정의 기준으로 변환하였다. 제작된 전광선속 측정장치는 광원으로부터 전 방향으로 발산하는 광속을 측정하고, 광원 주위의 가상구면을 적분함으로서 전광선속을 측정하였다. 광검출기로 LMT사의 조명도계를 사용하여 광원의 중심과 조명도 기준면까지의 거리가 약 1.693 m인 가상의 구면의 조명도를 측정하였다. 제작된 고니오광도계의 전광선속은 95% 신뢰수준에서 측정불확도는 1%이다.
