“The OUE8A Series UV LEDs eliminate any environmental concerns associated with the disposal of traditional mercury UV lamps,” said Alan Bennett, vice president of sales for OPTEK Technology. “Not only do these devices allow customers to target specific applications with the narrow wavelength emission, but they are able to do so while eliminating any mercury hazard.”
The UV LEDs are ideal for medical and industrial applications including phototherapy treatment, dental applications, fluorescence and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy; photo-catalyst curing of inks, coatings and adhesives; as well as paper currency and document validation.
