Nichia_LED_RECOM_dim.mspct: Spectra for a custom LED source in growth chamber

Description

A collection of LED emission spectra for the white LEDs in an Aralab plant-cultivation chamber at different nominal dimming settings.

Usage

Nichia_LED_RECOM_dim.mspct

Arguments

Format

Nichia_LED_RECOM_dim.mspct is a "source_mspct" object containing a collection of 11 "source_spct" objects as members. Members are named.

Details

Nichia_LED_RECOM_dim.mspct contains a collection of "source_spct" objects with spectral emission data for different dimming settings. The entrance optics, a cosine diffuser, was kept at a distance of 24 cm from light source. Thus, the different spectra are comparable and provided expressed in calibrated spectral energy irradiance units.

This growth chamber uses as light source a custom-built panel of Nichia Optisolis LEDs with CRI 97 rating based on LinearZ modules suplied by Lumitronix. Each LED module is driven by an RCD-48-.350 driver dimmed in constant current mode using a voltage supplied by the chamber controller.

The variables in each member spectrum are as follows:

  • w.length (nm)

  • s.e.irrad (\(\mathrm{W\,m^{-2}\,nm^{-1}}\))

Instrument used: Ocean Optics Maya2000 Pro single-monochromator array spectroradiometer with a Bentham cosine corrected input optics. A complex set of corrections and calibration procedure used. The source_spct objects have attributes with additional information on the measurement and data processing. Measurements done by Pedro J. Aphalo. Data acquired and processed using R packages 'ooacquire' and 'photobiology'.
