Broadband LEDs offer an extremely wide range

EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH has announced an innovative single-chip broadband LED source, the OCL-480 GIR. The company is the sole provider of ground-breaking broadband conversion SMD featuring an extremely wide spectral range. The new device emits a broad spectrum from 420nm to 1050nm with radiant intensity of 95mW/sr (typical) and a viewing angle of 120°. The remarkable, high-power broadband SMD LED conveniently replaces speciality lamps that produce too much heat, are obsolete, or are nearing end-of-life.

The OCL-480 XE428 model is an excellent replacement for mercury lamps. Further devices from the company's extensive broadband conversion SMD LED product line readily replace older lighting technologies, such as Xenon and tungsten-halogen.

The company's high-power, broad-spectrum LEDs are successfully employed in biomedical analysis and hyperspectral imaging applications. Other uses include spectroscopy, agricultural analysis and food illumination, medical research and tissue analysis, environmental monitoring, security, and more.

Matthias Gamp, EPIGAP OSA Photonics group's CEO, notes: "We are proud to be the only company in the world that manufactures broadband conversion SMD LEDs with the expansive spectral range of 400 nm -1100 nm. We are excited to announce this family of products because it provides an ideal solution for replacing a large variety of older lamps that are near end-of-life or becoming obsolete. Our newest offering combines with our vast LED and photodetector product lines to reflect our ongoing commitment to manufacturing products with German engineering excellence. We are delighted to offer this new broadband LED option to our customers and our potential customers all over the world. We invite you to partner with us for all your photodetector and LED needs."
