LED Emitters - Infrared, UV, Visible

1. Overview

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into light. The categories of infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and visible LEDs are differentiated by their emission wavelengths. These devices play critical roles in modern technology, enabling applications from communication systems to medical diagnostics, with advantages including energy efficiency, compact size, and long operational lifetimes.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Characteristics	Application Examples
Infrared LEDs	850-940 nm wavelength, low power consumption, invisible emission	Remote controls, night vision cameras, optical sensors
UV LEDs	280-400 nm wavelength, germicidal properties, high photon energy	Water purification, counterfeit detection, medical disinfection
Visible LEDs	400-700 nm wavelength, high brightness, color tunability	Lighting, displays, automotive indicators

3. Structure and Composition

LED emitters typically consist of: - Die: Semiconductor material (e.g., GaAs for IR, AlGaN for UV, InGaN for visible) - Substrate: Sapphire or silicon carbide for mechanical support - Encapsulation: Epoxy or silicone lens for light extraction and protection - Contact Layers: Metal electrodes for electrical connection - Thermal Pad: For heat dissipation in high-power devices
