Ushio Achieves New SWIR LEDs Record with Its Epitex D-Series

Ushio announced that it has commenced production of the latest high-powered short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) LEDs, which achieves the world’s highest output power and efficiency.

Low-power chips are mounted in SMT packages and moulded type LEDs; while with 1 mm2 high-powered chips, the SWIR D-Series can be mounted in EDC, SMBB, and TO-66 packages. For the majority of wavelengths, a two-fold improvement of output and efficiency is attained; however, the high-power versions have ramped up their forward current to 1 A and gain a boost of up to four times the original radiated power output. The resulting efficiency improvement gives operators the opportunity to enjoy cheaper power output, thereby reducing the overall cost per Watt.

The new Epitex D-Series SWIR LEDs cover a wide range of applications for consuming products and industrial equipment such as biological tissue characterization, biometrics, optical sorting, material identification, wafer inspection and more.

The Epitex LED range covers UV, visible, NIR, and SWIR wavelengths between 365 nm and 1750 nm based on Ushio’s experiences in chip and packaging technologies. The SWIR D-Series, which is based on InGaAsP semiconductor wafer technology, is not the only SWIR LED series to receive an upgrade. The SMBB1050GD-1100 high-power SWIR LED uses GaAs wafer technology to achieve a 1050 nm wavelength with an increased output power of 700 mW at 1 A.
