Nichia and RayVio announce UV LEDs, Lumileds expands IR portfolio

Nichia has announced the NCSU334A packaged LED that emits at 280 nm in the ultraviolet (UV) range and specifically in the UV-C band that enables instantaneous sterilization and purification for air, fluids, and surfaces. For medical phototherapy applications, RayVio has new LEDs that emit at 308 nm. Lumileds, meanwhile, has announced a new infrared (IR) LED family that spans the range of 850–940 nm enabling a solid-state lighting (SSL) approach to applications such as security and vision systems.
