Abstract

Solid state illumination using closed loop spectral control. Light emitting diodes producing different colors are mounted in close proximity to photosensors. Spectral content of the light emitting diodes is measured by the photosensors, and these measurements used to adjust light emitting diode currents to achieve the desired spectral characteristics.
