Cover Story: We investigate how the optical properties of commercial LEDs change after their exposure to γ-rays, up to the large total ionizing dose of 2 MGy(air). The devices under test include four LEDs of different colors in the same package. This allows us to compare the responses of different structures and technologies, as the proximity between diodes ensures the uniformity of their irradiation conditions. The radiation effects on the electron–photon conversion mechanisms inside these LEDs and on the opto-mechanical properties of the lens encasing them are discussed through the evolution of their external quantum efficiency characteristics and the variation of their angular emission patterns, respectively. The obtained results support the use of such LEDs in the illumination system of radiation-tolerant cameras. View this paper
