Bookham Technology has launched two new products designed for use in the metro and long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) markets.
Rather than using lenses to capture light in free space, the ZoroLight LED module traps light in a tunnel of highly-reflective di-electric coated surfaces that are geometry-optimised for efficient source light collection and filter performance.
"The ZoroLight LED module offers manufacturers of healthcare, pharmaceutical and diagnostics technologies a compact and cost-efficient LED illumination solution based on proven Bookham filter technology that is well-established for precision optical filter OEM applications in the instrumentation and telecommunications industries", said Product Line Manager, Ben Standish.
"To meet the diverse and specific needs of these manufacturers, the ZoroLight LED module is customisable for OEM applications, accommodating multiple wavelengths and meeting different intensity and size requirements".
"The use of LEDs is attractive in fluorescence applications due to their 10x-20x longer lifetime compared to bulbs and their cost savings over lasers".
"The ZoroLight LED module multiplexes up to six wavelengths in the visible range, or red, green and blue for white light, in less space than any other approach of comparable efficiency", Standish said.
