High Power Fiber Coupled LED UV, Violet, Blue, Green
High Power Black-LED
The new compact fiber-coupled high power UV, Violet, Blue and Green LED light source modules are effective replacements of lasers and lamps in many applications, such as spectroscopy, illumination and curing.
These compact modules provide tens of milliWatts of CW or pulsed power at fiber output. The LED current controller supports external TTL modulation and CW or chopping mode operation with preset frequency and duty cycle. The external TTL input enables synchronous operation with various fiber optic spectrometers such as Ocean Optics in strobe mode or external triggering mode.
Currently the Black-LEDs are available at following wavelengths: 365nm, 385nm, 390nm, 395nm, 400nm, 405nm, 410nm, 415nm, 420nm, 425nm, 430nm, 435nm, 440nm, 445nm, 455nm, 460nm, 470nm, 480nm, 500nm, 515nm, 535nm, 540nm and 595nm
Features
High Power
Narrow spectrum FWHM ~ 8nm, 15nm at 365nm and 405nm
Black-LED power output is limited by the reciprocal fiber characteristics. Larger core and higher NA will increase maximum power output, and vice versa.

Optional Accessories
Fiber patch cords:
Various fiber optic patch cords are available for use with the 3-LED or 5-LED products.
Most popular patch cords are 1000 / 1500 / 2000 micron core diameter Polymer Optical Fibers (POF)
terminated by optical SMA connectors on both sides. Prizmatix can provide Stainless Steel tube at one end of
the patch cord instead of the SMA connector. This configuration is more convenient in some applications.

Collimator:
The output from optical fiber is divergent according to fiber NA. In order to reduce the
divergence angle a collimator module can be used. Prizmatix collimator was especially designed to fit thick
core high NA Polymer Optical Fibers.

Fiber Bundles:
To combine outputs of multiple LEDs a Y-shaped fiber bundle with two or more input
branches can be used. Prizmatix can help to configure and build custom fiber bundles for specific applications.

Special Bundles:
For spectroscopy application special fiber optic bundles are very important. Special care
must be addressed to eliminate possible cross link between the excitation and the collection fibers.
