UV and Infrared LEDs
UV-LEDs:
UV LEDs emit ultraviolet light, which is particularly high in energy. These LEDs are mainly used for
- Disinfection of surfaces, air and water.
Hardening of materials such as adhesives, varnishes and resins in industry.
Analysis and detection in forensics, Authenticity checks of banknotes and ID cards.
- Diagnosis and sterilization in medicine and biotechnology.
Â
IR-LEDs:
IR LEDs emit infrared light that is invisible to the human eye. Their big advantage lies in their inconspicuous data transmission and night vision capabilities.
IR LEDs are often used in:
- Remote Control for wireless control
- Surveillance and security technology such as night vision cameras and motion detectors.
Optical data transmission in certain networks (e.g. IrDA) enables the wireless transmission of data over short distances.
- Medical sensors
