UVphotonics and FBH unveiling 280–320nm UVB and 230–280nm UVC LEDs at Photonics West

Together with Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) in the German Pavilion (booth 4545-50) at Photonics West 2019 in San Francisco, CA, USA (5-7 February), UVphotonics NT GmbH – a spin-off from FBH and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) that makes LEDs emitting in the UVB (280–320nm) and the UVC (230–280nm) wavelength regions – is showcasing its latest UV LED developments.

Due to their customizable wavelengths, low operation voltages, ability to be rapidly switched and dimmed along with their robustness, the compact devices are suited for a great variety of applications, says the firm. These include water purification, disinfection, medical diagnostics, phototherapy, plant growth lighting, UV curing, and sensing.

Featured products at Photonics West comprise 310nm UVB LEDs with up to 30mW output power at 350mA and 265nm UVC LEDs with >25mW at 350mA. Also, fully packaged UVC LEDs with a single emission peak at 233nm and an output power of 0.3mW at 100mA are being showcased.

In addition to these standard wavelengths, UVphotonics offers customizable LEDs tailoring the emission wavelength, emission area and spatial emission characteristics to meet specific requirements of the respective application.

“We stay at the forefront of UV LED technology due to our close collaboration with the FBH and the TU Berlin,” says UVphotonics’ CEO Dr Neysha Lobo Ploch. “FBH conducts R&D on (Ga,Al,In)N UV LEDs and performs all stages of device fabrication in-house, from design to epitaxial growth to chip processing, packaging and up to complete turn-key modules which are ready to use in applications,” she adds.

Also at Photonics West, FBH is presenting its diode laser developments in the neighboring booth.
