LED lighting, laser systems, modern displays, and solar panels may serve very different purposes, but they all rely on the science of light. In LEDs, Lasers, and Sunlight: Principles, Design, and Real-World Applications of Modern Photonics, Miklós Lambert explores the technologies behind these applications and explains the principles that make them work.
With more than 850 pages of content, the book combines photonics theory with practical engineering topics, covering everything from the fundamentals of light to the design and application of modern photonic systems.
The book opens with an introduction to photonics, covering electromagnetic radiation, optical laws, color theory, and the physical principles behind light generation. It then moves into LED technology, examining LED physics, device structures, lighting design, thermal management, power supplies, measurement techniques, and intelligent lighting systems.
Modern LED lighting combines optical, thermal, electronic, and mechanical design considerations.
Readers will also find dedicated chapters on horticultural lighting, plant growth applications, hydroponics, and aquarium lighting, showing how LEDs are being used well beyond traditional illumination.
Beyond visible light applications, the book explores infrared and ultraviolet LEDs and their use in communication, sensing, and other specialized applications. Several chapters are devoted to display technologies, including LCD, OLED, and MicroLED systems.
OLED structure: a) theoretical layout, b) encapsulated lighting panel
A major section focuses on lasers, explaining how they work, the different types available, and their use in fields such as medicine, measurement, communications, industry, and manufacturing.
The final part of the book turns to sunlight and energy conversion. Topics include the photovoltaic effect, solar cell technologies, solar panels, and thermal radiation, providing readers with an overview of how light can be converted into usable energy.
Caption Modern solar-cell technologies, including tandem perovskite devices, illustrate the growing role of photonics in energy conversion.
With topics ranging from LED lighting and display technology to lasers, plant growth applications, and solar energy, LEDs, Lasers, and Sunlight offers readers a broad overview of modern photonics and the many ways light is used in today’s electronic systems.
