- the first radiation flux ratio can also be formed differently. With increasing junction temperature Tj, which can also be referred to as Junetion temperature, the decreases
- Radiation flux ⁇ e This has a negative effect, in particular during an impulse operation of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1, when the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1 heats up during each pulse during its pulse duration PD and cools down again after one end of the pulse.
- the radiation flux ⁇ e during the respective pulse duration PD then generally decreases with increasing heating.
- FIG. 1 shows at the bottom left a radiation flux-current characteristic of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1, in which a second radiation flux ratio against an electrical operating current If of the radiation-emitting element Semiconductor device is applied.
- the second radiation flux ratio is formed by a ratio of the radiation flux ⁇ e of the radiation-emitting
- the semiconductor device 1 with respect to the radiation flux ⁇ e, which results at a predetermined operating current of 750 mA.
- the second radiation flux ratio can also be specified differently. With increasing operating current If the radiation flux ⁇ e increases.
- the radiation flux ⁇ e can not be arbitrarily increased by increasing the operating current If, and decreases even if the operating current If and the pulse width PD are too long or the duty cycle is too long.
- a radiation flux-current-time diagram can be determined is shown on the right in FIG. In the radiation flow-current-time diagram, a third radiation flux ratio is plotted against the operating current If and a time t.
- Radiation flux ratio is formed by a ratio of the radiation flux ⁇ e of the radiation-emitting Semiconductor device 1 with respect to a predetermined reference radiation flux ⁇ eO.

In the voltage-current characteristic, not shown, is the voltage that is above the radiation-emitting Semiconductor device drops, applied over the operating current If.

- FIG. 3 shows a detail of the radiation flux-current-time diagram according to FIG. 1 for the case that the third radiation flux ratio is to be kept constant at a value of 1.
- the operating current If to be set for the constant third radiation flux ratio results as a contour line in the radiation flux-current-time diagram or, in other words, as a section line in the plane of the third radiation flux ratio with the constant value 1. Accordingly, the operating current If also to be set be determined for a different value of the third radiation flux ratio.
- the radiation flow-current-time diagram in FIG. 3 shows that the third radiation flux ratio can not be kept at the value of 1 for any desired length of time.
- a further increase in the operating current If causes no increase due to the associated heating of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1, but a reduction of the radiation flux ⁇ e.

- a profile of an approximated compensation current Ia is determined as an approximation of the profile of the compensation current Ik, which represents the course of the compensation current Ik to be set.
- the profile of the approximated compensation current Ia is determined as a function of a sum over at least one summand of the form A * (1-exp (-t / tau)).
- FIG. 4 shows the profile of the approximated compensation current Ia for a single summand. By considering further summands, the precision of the approximation can be improved. In the example of FIG.
- a time constant tau is determined in each case depending on the time characteristic of the thermal impedance Zth. If the number of summands equal to a number of thermal resistance capacitance elements or thermal RC elements of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1 is selected, which characterize the course of the thermal impedance Zth, then the respective time constant tau corresponds to a respective time constant which is defined by one of the thermal RC components. Members of the radiation-emitting semiconductor device 1 are predetermined. The thermal resistances and the thermal capacitances which form the thermal RC elements, and thus also the associated time constants, can be determined as a function of the course of the thermal impedance Zth.
- a factor A is determined in each case depending on the voltage-current characteristic and / or the radiant-flux-current characteristic and / or the radiant-flux junction temperature characteristic. Due to the simplicity of the function of the individual summands, the profile of the approximated compensation current Ia can be generated very easily, for example by means of suitably designed electrical resistance-capacitance elements, which can also be referred to as electrical RC elements.

The determination takes place as a function of the detected course of the thermal impedance Zth. The determination preferably takes place by means of the physical model of the radiation-emitting semiconductor component 1, to which the detected profile of the thermal impedance Zth is predetermined. For this purpose, for example, the course of the desired contour line in the radiation flux-current-time diagram is determined and, if appropriate, the approximation of the approximated compensation current Ia is carried out.
