SWIR LEDs for aerospace and defense infrared imaging through dust, fog, and smoke introduced by EPIGAP OSA
BERLIN – EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH in Berlin is introducing the OCI-490 series high-power shortwave infrared (SWIR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for infrared imaging through fog, dust, and smoke; materials sorting and detection; and non-intrusive imaging for biometrics and surveillance.
The SWIR LEDs offers a wavelength range from more than 1720 to 2300 nanometers with a 1 amp and 41-milliwatt optical output. The energy-efficient family of SWIR LEDs delivers strong illumination with very low heat output for mission-critical operations.
The high-power devices can be used in non-intrusive imaging. Invisible to the naked eye, the SWIR LEDs enable discreet biometric and surveillance imaging for medical, industrial, and defense applications.
When used in material identification, the extended wavelength SWIR LEDs reveal material characteristics to improve sorting and quality control tasks in pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. The SWIR wavelengths enhance visibility when imaging through dust, fog, and smoke with results in harsh environments such as extreme heat, humidity, or vibration.
Devices are available from ultraviolet to SWIR. For more information contact EPIGAP OSA Photonics online at www.epigap-osa.com/products/leds/smd/high-power-smd.
