Precise Wavelength Typing for LED Chips – Flexible Spectral Binning for Sensor and Measurement Applications
Many lighting applications work with the dominant wavelength (lambda dom) as standard. However, in numerous technical applications – even in the visible spectral range – this variable is not ideally suited. Especially in sensory applications, the exact spectral characteristics are particularly important. Here, grouping according to peak wavelength or centroid wavelength is often much more meaningful and closer to the application. Our offer: Precise typing – tailored to your application. Chips 4 Light GmbH is one of the few suppliers to offer you the option of flexibly typing LED chips according to various wavelength parameters: Lambda dom according to classic color standard Lambda peak Lambda centroid Optionally also in mW…

Chips 4 Light: Cross-industry problem-solving expertise in LED technology
The continuous development of LED technology opens up a wide range of possibilities for developers and manufacturers from all conceivable industries. Modern LEDs not only optimize and expand the functionality of established products, they also support a multitude of completely new applications and enable true innovation. LEDs surpass components that were common before their invention, such as incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes, not only in terms of performance, resilience, durability, and energy efficiency. Thanks to their small size and high luminance, LEDs can now be used in applications that were practically unthinkable just a few years ago. The LED chip is the technical heart of every LED component and is…

Customized solutions with Chips 4 Light – big commitment to small components
Few technical developments have succeeded in penetrating so many areas of life and symbolizing the advantages of technological progress on so many levels as the LED. Today, there is hardly any application in which the LED has not already largely replaced classic incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Size, performance, service life, resilience, and energy consumption are compelling arguments for why LEDs can now be found everywhere from televisions and cars to wearables and, above all, in industry, wherever efficient light sources are needed. For product developers, this means that the use of LED components or even just bare dies is an essential part of the design. Fundamental characteristics and properties,…

Photodiode and Phototransistor Chips
In addition to our large selection of LED chips and laser diodes, we also offer detector chips that are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from 390 to 1680 nm. PHOTODIODES convert light directly into a current flow, whereby the current is proportional to the light intensity. They have a simple design and fast response time, but lower sensitivity than phototransistors. Similar to a photodiode, a PHOTOTRANSISTOR converts light into a current flow. Additionally, the transistor amplifies this current through transistor amplification. OUR PRODUCT OFFER: Silicon photodiode chips and phototransistor chips that are sensitive in the 400-1100 nm wavelength range InGaAs photodiode chips in the near infrared wavelength range of 950-1680 nm Photodetector arrays with individually addressable photodiodes…

Spezialitäten für die Opto-Sensorik
Optoelektronische Sensoren erfüllen die unterschiedlichsten Messaufgaben. Oft liefern nur applikationsspezifische Designs oder die Verwendung der reinen LED- und Detektorchips, auch „bare dice“ genannt, eine hinreichende Lösung für den einzusetzenden Sensor. Passende Bauteile sind am Markt häufig nicht zu finden. Der Optoelektronik-Spezialist Chips 4 Light schließt diese Lücke mit hochwertigen, für industrielle Applikationen optimierten, LED-Komponenten und einem breiten Angebot an LED- und Detektorchips verschiedenster Größen, Leistungsklassen und in den oft notwendigen kleinen und mittleren Stückzahlen.
