Low-frequency noise (1/f noise) has been measured in light emitting diodes (LEDs) which have been subjected to an accelerated life test by means of large forward bias current pulses. Over a large range of stress pulses the electrical and functional LED properties remain unaltered but an increase in the 1/f noise level was seen and this was correlated with the device reliability. The product 'initial noise × initial rate of noise increase' correlated best with the LED lifetime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
