Radiation Effects in Electroluminescent Diodes

Following a brief discussion of the operating characteristics of light emitting diodes (LED's), radiation effects in these devices are reviewed. Recent results on neutron damage effects in SiC LED's are also presented. Based on this review, criteria are developed for radiation insensitivity of LED's.
