  1. aThe half-lifetimes (T50) at 50 W sr−1 m−2 are estimated using an empirical equation – \({({R}_{0})}^{{\rm{n}}}\) × \({T}_{50}\) = constant – where \({R}_{0}\) is the initial radiance. An acceleration factor (n) of either 2 or 1.5 is adopted for testing initial radiance larger or smaller than 50 W sr−1 m−2, respectively, following the principle of overestimating the calculated T50 at 50 W sr−1 m−2. Different operational lifetime evaluations (T85, the time when the radiance drops to 85% of its initial value) are specifically noted. NIR LEDs based on RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) compliant materials, including tin-based perovskites and organometallic complexes, are also listed in the table.
