USHIO Begins Sample Shipments of High Light Output 1900nm SWIR LEDs
Ushio Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Ushio") is pleased to announce the commencement of sample shipments for its new line of Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) LED devices with an emission wavelength of 1900nm. Mass production is scheduled to begin in October 2023.
Ushio officially increases SWIR LED maximum current after extensive reliability testing
KYOTO, JAPAN (June 2022) — Ushio Inc. has completed reliability testing of its large short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) LED chips, the result of which has determined the maximum current value (Imax) can be raised without modifying existing Epitex SWIR LED chip and package designs. The new maximum current values define a DC ampage increase of 50% to 1.5 A, while pulsed current doubles from 2 A to 4 A.
Ushio launches small, high-efficiency SWIR LED chips into large-scale mass production
LOCATION (March 2022) — The Ushio Group (Head Office: Tokyo; President and CEO: Koji Naito; subsequently referred to as “Ushio”) has announced its entry into the bare LED chip market. Already established in the solid-state lighting (SSL) field with its own packaged LED and laser diode products, Ushio is expanding its chip-only product line to cater for other packaged LED manufacturers and those who seek more flexibility in their product design. This move is expected to catch the attention of companies producing LEDs with a reduced mounting area and compact device OEMs in the smartphone and vital sensor industries.
SWIR LEDs achieve top results in sensing & inspection applications
The use of LEDs in sensing and inspection applications has grown significantly, particularly where an application must rely on short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) wavelengths. In this article, we outline some of the most popular applications and find out what role Ushio’s Epitex SWIR LEDs play in them.
Beauty is in the LED of the beholder: LEDs for optical food sorting applications
The agricultural and food processing industries have long pioneered the automation arena as they scramble to provide sustenance to an ever-growing population. It is a sector on which almost all of us rely in order to survive and, in some cases, try to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Blood, sweat, and tears: the innovation behind Ushio’s multi-wavelength LED packages
Ushio’s Epitex division has grown to develop the largest collection of light emitting diodes on the market. Covering all violet, visible, and infrared (IR) wavelengths, from 365 nanometres (nm) to 1,750 nm, this vast catalogue creates a one-stop-shop for single and multi-wavelength LEDs.
Ushio sets 1,050 nm SWIR LED output power record with 700 mW chip
Ushio has announced the release of a new record-breaking version of its Epitex SMBB1050GD 1,050 nm short wavelength infrared (SWIR) LEDs. Available in single or multi-chip form, each gallium arsenide (GaAs) chip is capable of a record optical output power of 700 milliwatts (mW) at 1 Ampere (continuous wave, CW), or 1,200 mW at 2 A (pulsed). This incredible optical output power can reach up to 3,700 mW when taking advantage of the SMBB family multi-chip package options, which allow up to three chips at the same time, along with an optional ceramic insulator, in the same package.
