Laser and LED Hybrid Plant Lighting System Design Based on the Particle Swarm Algorithm

This paper developed light-emitting diode (LED) and laser models suitable for the design of uniform surface irradiation systems that use computer algorithms. During the evaluation factor for a two-dimensional particle swarm algorithm, the effects of energy utilization and uniformity were comprehensively considered and LED and laser models were given. The optimal design method was used with a laser and LED hybrid light source. According to the lighting requirements of lettuce, three types of lighting were simulated for the LED and laser models, and the best simulation results were selected for experiments. The experiment verified the feasibility of the above method and obtained a laser and LED hybrid lighting system with an energy utilization rate of about 78% and a uniformity of up to 85%.
