LUXEON 3030 broad spectrum LED released
Lumileds has announced immediate high quantity availability of its LUXEON 3030 HE Plus Horticulture LEDs. Based on the company’s 3030 LED portfolio and characterised for horticulture, the new options offer high PPF/W, broad spectrum white light that enable grow lights which are productive and economical.
Dual function LED for bacteria disinfection
NICHIA has announced a new dual function LED that provides both white light and high doses of energy geared for inactivation of various prevalent bacteria. With the continued surge of COVID-19 and the global impact across the globe, there is a heightened awareness to cleanliness in all aspects of life. While this certainly applies to viruses, it also applies to various types of bacteria present in our daily living environments.
Low residual amplitude modulator phase modulator
LASER COMPONENTS had introduced a range of phase modulators especially designed to operate in the 1,000nm wavelength band. The NIR-MPX series uses a proton exchanged based waveguide process that gives them an unparalleled stability even when operating at high optical power.
ELPEGUARD thick-film coating for rapid UV LED curing
Peters has developed ELPEGUARD thick-film coating twin-cure DSL 1602 FLZ/400 in particular for UV LED curing at a wavelength of 395nm. The coating will be curing within seconds with an energy of 1,500mJ/cm² and a capacity of 1500 mW/cm².
A new generation of infrared lasers for LiDAR
LiDAR is a key technology in the development of autonomous vehicles. In combination with radar and camera systems, it acts as the vision of the car, capturing its surroundings. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses infrared light to create a precise, three-dimensional map of the environment. The better this visual information, the easier it is for the downstream systems to use it.
New detector group facility and APD arrays
LASER COMPONENTS Detector Group has recently completed a move into a new purpose built 29,000-sq-ft facility in Chandler, Arizona, featuring purpose-built cleanrooms and workstations to optimise efficiency and cleanliness.
UV-C LED disinfection efficacy proven to combat viruses
NICHIA has announced the launch of its newest deep UV-C LED, the NCSU334B. At a peak wavelength of 280nm, NICHIA’s deep UV LED performs highly in the field of UV-C LEDs, regardless of wavelength, output, efficiency and lifetime. At the same time, new independent research confirms they are also good for disinfection performance against SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Power-saving infrared LED for VR/MR/AR applications
ROHM introduces a new ultra-compact side-emitting (side view) infrared LED, CSL1501RW. The device is well suited for head-mounted displays, industrial headsets, and VR/MR/AR (xR, virtual reality) gaming systems.
Extended range non-browning zoom lens
Based upon a proven design – Resolve Optics new Model 192-001 non-browning six times zoom lens offers high performance over an extended 24 to 144mm focal length range making it perfect for remote monitoring tasks in nuclear reprocessing and power plants.
Partnership for automotive viewing camera solution
OmniVision and Nextchip have announced a joint automotive viewing camera solution solution that is pre-tuned to provide high quality images for rearview cameras (RVCs), surround-view systems (SVS) and e-mirrors in low-end and midrange vehicles.
