The fundamental research at LESA has and continues to focus on the development of solid-state light (SSL) source technology that can translate to the systems, sources, and sensors level of performance to provide low cost, energy-efficient Systems that Think™.

LESA’s exploration of LEDs and phosphor fundamentals addresses parameters such as polarization, wavelength, intensity, spectral distribution, tunable light generation, and absorption in the development of progressive concepts and technologies for SSL applications.
