Announces Full Ultraviolet LED Product Group Featuring New Packaging Styles
and Narrower Bandwidth For Variety Of Emerging Applications
BivarOpto™, the Optoelectronics Division of Bivar, Inc., introduces a full complement of innovative Ultraviolet LED devices to answer a broadening variety of applications requiring narrower bandwidth performance and economies of scale for device installation and performance. The new product group introduces two new wavelengths with excellent operating efficiency and industrial temperature ranges. The new improved bandwidth devices are anticipated to find immediate opportunities in a wide variety of applications including automotive, medical, industrial and new emerging biometrics/security areas such as forensic science and crime scene investigations.
The first to offer an industry standard high powered Ultraviolet (UV) LED Series in early 2002, with their T-1 (3mm) and T-1 3/4 (5mm) 400nm UV devices, the company witnessed significant customer interest in further developing these and improved wavelength devices in additional industry-standard packages. BivarOpto has now expanded the UV group to include the 3mm and 5mm packages, industry’s first TO-92 extended life, high powered all metal and glass encapsulated UV LED, and an all-new industry-standard 1206 surface mounted discrete UV LED package. This diversity of packaging offers designers a broad spectrum of possibilities for compact LED installations, as these solid-state ultraviolet (UV) devices provide increased energy efficiency and related cost economies, and assure longer life compared to bulkier, non-solid state UV lighting.
They offer a practical alternative for many types of portable or battery-powered test and detection devices, such as the medical field, where UV LEDs can be used for bio-luminescence and as a light source for lower spectrum analyzers. Accurate finger print identification and counterfeit bill detection are examples of use in the security and law enforcement field. Depending on the device package selected, viewing angles range from 30° to 140°, can be achieved. Operating temperature ranges from -20° to +85°C, feature a typical radiant flux of 12mW per chip and a typical stable wavelength from 390 to 410nm. All UV LED devices demonstrate high resistance to shock and vibration vs. traditional filament-based light sources.
“We have worked closely with several core customers, developing a highly versatile product group that immediately addresses the needs across many leading and emerging uses of UV LED devices”, said Anthony Vilgiate, Bivar Vice President, Strategic Business Development. “We are developing a range of lower wavelength products in the near term to address a host of new applications opportunities that the 400nm product simply can’t support. Bivar has been actively partnering with industry leaders to further develop this exciting technology and bring commercially viable UV products to life.”
