Osram has introduced green and blue laser diodes in TO-38 and TO-56 metal can packages. “The laser diodes are available with different optical power levels: 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100mW,” according to component distributor Rutronik, which is stocking the parts. “To ensure eye protection, the green laser diodes in the TO56 housing have an integrated photodiode that monitors and ...

Osram is aiming at projectors based on DLP technology with a set of four high-brightness coloured LEDs. With the base part number LE xx P1MS/AS (see table below for details), there are blue, amber, deep blue and green options. Each has a 6.8 x 7.6mm footprint. “The LEDs have a very close etendue match with the 0.33inch DLP imager,” according ...

Osram has introduced a laser diode for industrial lidar. SPL TL90AT03 emits 905nm infra-red and has been developed for short laser pulses – between 5 and 100ns – maximum duty cycle is 0.1%. Optical output is 65W from a 110µm aperture (20A 100μs 1kHz) – said to be an efficiency of 34%. There are three emitters inside the package – forward ...

Osram and the University of Padua have been studying the effects of UV-C radiation from LEDs on SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind Covid-19. “It has already been shown that a high intensity of UV-C LED radiation can inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus rapidly,” according to the company. “In realistic applications, like upper air treatment or secondary air treatment devices [photos], the necessary dose to ...

Osram has introduced horticultural lighting leds with a ‘batwing’ output distribution. Implemented in Oslon Square Batwing, the distribution comes purely from a primary lens built into the pacakge. “Current LED fixtures often have a lambertian primary lens and no secondary optic, or a simple glass cover, which lead to hotspots with high concentration of light directly under the luminaire,” according ...

Osram has created an ambient light sensor for mobiles and wearables that includes UV-A light detection. “While the UV-C portion of sunlight is blocked by the earth’s atmosphere, UV-A and UV-B radiation reaches the earth’s surface,” according to the company. “UV-B radiation penetrates only the upper layers of the skin and is responsible for sunburn. UV-A radiation, which accounts for ...

Osram has developed its own emissive quantum dot technology, and is using it in a range of 90CRI lighting LEDs. “‘Osconiq E 2835 CRI90 (QD)’ pushes efficiency values to new heights, even at high colour rendering indices and warm light colours,” according to the company. “The LED meets the requirements of the Single Lighting Regulation [mandatory in Europe in September ...

Osram has created a ‘white’ led specifically to work alongside native red emitting leds for horticultural growth illumination. In horticultural lighting, the name of the game is to direct most of the electrical input power into the red and blue parts of the spectrum needed for plants to grow. On top of this are requirements for people to be able ...

Osram has teamed up with Infineon to add NFC set-up to led lighting to a non-dimmable Osram led driver family. “NFC programming is designed to replace resistor-setting techniques via a contactless NFC interface,” according to Infineon. “The integrated ‘constant lumen output’ functions additionally help saving energy by maintaining the luminous flux constant over an extended luminaire lifecycle.” Optotronic OT FIT ...

Osram is to shut down server support for smart lamps from its Lightify lighting system within 18 months. “More and more customers prefer comprehensive smart home solutions with intelligent assistants and are no longer controlling their lighting via a separate lighting control system or gateway,” said the lighting company. “Customers have one and a half years to switch to an ...
