M. Nisa Khan received her bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics from Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota, and her master’s and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. In 2006, she started an independent research and engineering company in LED lighting and has been involved in innovation and technology development for making solid-state lighting more suitable for general lighting. Dr. Khan performs feasibility studies for LED lighting used in entertainment and signage industries and offers platform design and development solutions for general lighting applications. Since 2007, she has been writing the "LED Update" column for Signs of the Times magazine.
"… [the book] educate[s] a non-lighting audience about the basics
of light, while doing so from a point of view that they might
understand. … BUY IT if you'd like to see how another community
views the lighting world."
—Lighting Design and Application Magazine, June 2014 "… one of
those rare resources that address the engineering of LED lighting
as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by lighting
designers working in a rapidly evolving marketplace. Author Nisa
Khan’s concise and unique perspective brings together key issues
related to both the evolution and practice of next-generation
lighting. … an excellent textbook for teaching illumination
engineering, architectural engineering, and other subjects related
to next-generation lighting. The monograph is extremely well
organized and its tables, charts, diagrams, and photographs
effectively reinforce the concepts described by the text. It can
also serve as a ready reference for those involved in the design,
engineering, and marketing of SSL. I recommend it to anyone
interested in SSL lighting …"
—Michael Siminovitch, Physics Today, July 2014"The book contains a
lot of useful information on LEDs, particularly on thermal
management and colour stability. … a useful addition to a technical
library on luminaire design and manufacturing …"
—Lighting Magazine, February/March 2014"The author provides an
introduction to lighting fundamentals and technologies, and then
LED science and technologies. Lamp designs, lighting theory,
simulations and efficiency limiting factors are discussed as well.
The author also addresses LED replacement lamps for household and
commercial lighting use, as well as design for improving tubular
LED replacement. … designed to teach scientists and engineers the
fundamentals of lighting and LED lamp design."
—Optics & Photonics News"Understanding LED Illumination provides a
very broad look at the subject of LED lighting. There are sections
on lighting history, lamp simulation, packaging, human interaction
issues, light intensity measurement, energy efficiency, LED vs.
fluorescent, etc. … it will appeal to just about any engineer
involved with LED design. The book is extremely well illustrated. …
an excellent choice for any engineer involved in LED design or
manufacturing."
—ThermalSoftware.com"The most comprehensive introductory book in
LED lighting."
—Stephen Y. Chou, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering,
Princeton University"This book fills a unique need in a growing
field. The author discusses such important issues as color blend,
color rendering, and 3D illumination, which are not included in
standard texts. It will be of great value to students in electrical
lighting courses, lighting engineers, architects, and others who
make use of this new technology."
—Leonard C. Feldman, Ph.D., Professor and Vice President of
Physical Sciences and Engineering Partnerships, Rutgers
University"This book is an invaluable contribution for scientists,
industry professionals and educators in the lighting domain."
—Siegfried Luger, EMBE, Luger Research e.U.
