ICFUST: Far-UVC LED for killing germs

Silanna SF1-3M1FWL1 UVC led

Silanna UV will launch a 235nm LED at ICFUST 2024, the International Congress on Far-UVC Science and Technology. SF1-3M1FWL1 is a 700mW input (30mA, 23.5V nominal) device that typically emits 3mW of UV radiation at that current. typical emission angle is 125°. Packaging is 6.8 x 6.8 x 1.38mm surface-mount. “This LED is effective for surface disinfection, air purification, medical ...

Long thin pixels boost spectrometer sensor sensitivity

Hamamatsu linear light senor 11639n-02

Hamamatsu Photonics has launched a pair of linear CMOS image sensors with long thin pixels to increase sensitivity in spectrometers, without hampering resolution. “The elongated vertical pixel enables efficient light collection, even with shorter integration times,” according to the company. “Surpassing conventional CMOS in the VUV [vacuum ultra-violet, see graph] region, both sensors exhibit remarkable sensitivity from 140 to 1,000nm.” ...

Updated: UV spectrometer is only 20mm long

Hamamatsu Photonics C16767MA miniUVspectrometer

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a UV model of its ‘micro’ spectrometer series. C16767MA is sensitive across 190 to 440nm with a typical resolution of 5.5nm (FWHM, so ±2.25nm to 50%). Update: scroll down for how it works, probably Vital statistics are 20.1 x 12.5 x 10.1mm and 5g. “For example, C16767MA can be mounted in water quality monitors, analysing the ...

Broadcom spectrometer modules are compact

Broadcom Qwave spectrometer

Farnell is stocking spectrometer modules from Broadcom’s range. “Broadcom’s compact spectrometer modules are suitable for industrial sensing and mobile analytics in numerous applications,” according to Farnell. “Field and lab-based engineers can now access spectrometers from stock for same day shipping.” The USB-connected modules cover ultra-violet, visible and near-infra-red – alone or in various combinations. The parts Farnell is handling include: ...

Collimators for UV leds

Ledil has designed a family of optics for domed UV leds. Called G2-Rose-UV, they are “UV-resistant with no notable decrease in light transmission rates”, said the firm. Made of silicone, they “can be used with UV LEDs, which even UV stabilised plastics are unfit for”. Typical applications of lenses range through polymer curing, bacteria sterilising, forensics and counterfeit detection. The ...
