BASICS OF LIGHT SOURCE AND THEIR WORKING

1. LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)

The light emitting diode is a p-n junction diode. Its is specially doped diode and made up of a
special type of semiconductor. When the light emits in the forward biased, then it is called a light
emitting diode.

LIGHT EMITTING DIODE

The LED symbol is similar to a diode symbol except for two small arrow that specify the
emission of light, thus it is called LED (light emitting diode). the LED include two terminals
namely anode (+) and the cathode (-). The LED symbol is shone blow.

Symbol of LED

➢ CONSTRUCTION OF LED
The construction of LED is very simple because it is designed through the deposition of three
semiconductor material layer over a substrate. These three layers are arranged one by one where
the top region is a P-type, the middle region is active and finally, the bottom region is N-type.
The three region of semiconductor material can be observed in the construction. In the
construction, the P-type region include the holes; the N-type region include the electrons whereas
the active region includes both the holes and electron.
When the voltage is not applied to the LED, then there is no flow of electrons and holes so
they are stable. Once the voltage is applied then the LED will forward biased, so the electrons in
the N-region and holes from P-region will move to the active region. This region is also known
as the depletion region. Because the charge carriers like holes include a positive charge whereas
electrons have a negative charge so the light can be generated through the recombination of
polarity charges.
➢ WORKING PRINCIPAL OF LED
The working principle of the Light-emitting diode is based on the quantum theory. The quantum
theory says that when the electron comes down from the higher energy level to the lower energy
level then, the energy emits from the photon. The photon energy is equal to the energy gap
between these two energy levels. If the PN-junction diode is in the forward biased, then the
current flows through the diode.

Working principal of LED

The flow of current in the semiconductors is caused by the flow of holes in the opposite direction
of current and the flow of electrons in the direction of the current. Hence there will be
recombination due to the flow of these charge carriers.

The recombination indicates that the electrons in the conduction band jump down to the valence
band. When the electrons jump from one band to another band the electrons will emit the
electromagnetic energy in the form of photons and the photon energy is equal to the forbidden
energy gap. For example, let us consider the quantum theory, the energy of the photon is the
product of both the Planck constant and frequency of electromagnetic radiation. The mathematical
equation is shown

Eq = hf
Where his known as a Planck constant, and the velocity of electromagnetic radiation is equal to
the speed of light i.e. The frequency radiation is related to the velocity of light as an f= c / λ. λ is
denoted as a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation and the above equation will become as a

Eq = he / λ

From the above equation, we can say that the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is inversely
proportional to the forbidden gap. In general silicon, germanium semiconductors this forbidden
energy gap is between the condition and valence bands are such that the total radiation of
electromagnetic wave during recombination is in the form of infrared radiation. We can’t see the
wavelength of infrared because they are out of our visible range.

The infrared radiation is said to be as heat because the silicon and the germanium semiconductors
are not direct gap semiconductors rather these are indirect gap semiconductors. But in the direct
gap semiconductors, the maximum energy level of the valence band and minimum energy level of
the conduction band does not occur at the same moment of electrons. Therefore, during the
recombination of electrons and holes are migration of electrons from the conduction band to the
valence band the momentum of the electron band will be changed

➢ SOME TYPES OS LED

• Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (GaAsP) - Color - red to infra-red, orange
• Aluminum Gallium Arsenide Phosphide (AlGaAsP) – Color - high-brightness red,
orange-red, orange, and yellow
• Gallium Phosphide (GaP) – Color - red, yellow and green
• Aluminum Gallium Phosphide (AlGaP) – Color - green

2. CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp)

A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) is a type of fluorescent lamp that has been compressed into the
size of an ordinary incandescent lamp. It works on the principle of gas discharge, i.e., ionization
of gas by the electric current.

• The modern CFL was invented by Edward E. Hammer in 1973.

• CFLs are the lamps of choice for those looking for an energy efficient alternative to
incandescent lamps.
• CFLs consume very less power than an incandescent lamp.
• The increasing variety of shape and color and small size of CFL have made them more
versatile and acceptable than the conventional long tube fluorescent lamps.
 ➢ CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING OF CFL.

A typical CFL consists of a gas filled tube with two electrodes mounted in an end cap. The tube
contains a mixture of argon gas, mercury vapor and liquid mercury at low pressure. The tube is
also coated on the inside with three different phosphors.

When the electric supply is connected to the electrodes, an electric arc is created between two
electrodes. The electric arc produces the flow of electrons. When the mercury atoms inside the
tube are bombarded by these electrons produce ultraviolet radiation. The phosphor coating inside
the tube gives off light when exposed to the UV radiation.

The circuit of the CFL contains a ballast which provides the high initial voltage required to create
the starting arc and then limit the current to prevent the lamp from self-destruction.

➢ ADVANTAGES OF CFL

• CFLs are the energy efficient lamps. The operating cost of

CFLs is very less. CFLs save a lot of electricity.
• CFLs produce less heat as compared to incandescent bulbs.
• The lamp efficiency of the CFL is fairly high, about 50 to 75
lumens per Watt.
• CFL lamps do not require the starting gear. CFL lamps start
immediately.
• CFLs have longer lifespan.

➢ DISADVANTAGES OF CFL

• The initial cost of installing CFL lamps is high.

• CFLs are not environment friendly as they have mercury content.
• CFLs can fail prematurely if overheated.
• CFL lamps cannot be used with timer switches since these can reduce the lifespan of the
CFL
3. TUBE LIGHT

Tube shaped fluorescent lamp is termed as tube light. Tube light is a lamp that works on low
pressure mercury vapor discharge phenomenon and converts ultra violate ray into visible ray
with the help of phosphor coated inside glass tube.

➢ MATERIAL USED IN TUBE LIGHT

1. Filament coils as electrodes

2. Phosphor coated glass bulb
3. Mercury drop
4. Inert gases (argon)
5. Electrode shield
6. End cap
7. Glass stem

➢ WORKING PRINCIPAL OF TUBE LIGHT

1. When the switch is ON, full voltage will come across the tube light through ballast and
fluorescent lamp starter. No discharge happens initially i.e., no lumen output from the
lamp.

2. At that full voltage first the glow discharge is established in the starter. This is because
the electrodes gap in the neon bulb of starter is much lesser than that of inside
the fluorescent lamp.

3. Then gas inside the starter gets ionized due to this full voltage and heats the bimetallic
strip that is caused to be bent to connect to the fixed contact. Current starts flowing
through the starter. Although the ionization potential of the neon is little bit more than
that of the argon still due to small electrode gap high voltage gradient appears in the
neon bulb and hence glow discharge is started first in starter.

4. As voltage gets reduced due to the current causing a voltage drop across the inductor,
the strip cools and breaks away from the fixed contact. At that moment a large L di/dt
voltage surge comes across the inductor at the time of breaking.
 5. This high valued surge comes across the tube light electrodes and strike penning mixture
(mixture argon gas and mercury vapor).
6. Gas discharge process continues and current gets path to flow through the tube light gas
only due to low resistance as compared to resistance of starter.

7. The discharge of mercury atoms produces ultra violet radiation which in turn excites the
phosphor powder coating to radiate visible light.

➢ ADVANTAGES OF USING TUBE LIGHT

1. Energy-efficient.
2. Longer life of tubes.
3. Diffused light.
4. Heat emission will be less.

➢ DISADVANTAGES OF USING TUBE LIGHT

1. It contains toxic materials.

2. Omnidirectional light.
3. Emits UV rays that are harmful to health.
4. It consumes more power compared to LEDs bulbs.
