Efficiency- and lifetime-limiting effects of commercially available UVC LEDs: a review by Grigory Onushkin, Jan Ruschel, Francesco Piva, Matteo Buffolo, Jens Rass, Lynn Davis, Nicola Trivellin, Carlo De Santi, Willem van Driel, Matteo Meneghini

“…Moreover, also package-related degradation processes are investigated, which stand-out due to the peculiar structures and materials required to sustain both high-energy UV photons and high localized self-heating, while maximizing the optical efficiency of the LEDs. Ultimately, the data reported within this paper should help the final user in predicting and mitigating degradation effects, while also serving as a reference to manufacturers for the improvement of next generation devices.…”
