Noninvasively probing the light-emitting diode temperature by magnetic nanoparticles.

The precise measurement of temperature information is of great importance in the thermal management of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Hitherto, many methods have been proposed to measure the LED temperature, but none of them involve with magnetics. Herein, we developed a noninvasive and precise method to probe the LED temperatures based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Detailed measurement principle and experimental setup were introduced. Through this setup, the heating and cooling characteristics of LEDs were investigated with different voltage inputs. It is found that higher voltage input leads to higher LED temperature. When the input voltage is 5.2 V, the LED temperature is 326.8 K. The present noninvasive and precise method supplements the existing techniques of temperature measurement in terms of magnetics and opens up new avenues to measure the temperature information where conventional approaches may fail.
