NewDEL™ UV Fiber-coupled LEDs

The NewDEL™ UV [Ultraviolet] product group combines high performance and flexibility to serve both scientific and industrial research. Because most UV applications require increased levels of output, NewDEL™ UV are designed to deliver the highest radiant power possible from a one-millimeter diameter fiber (see Table 2).

The High Radiant Power Advantage

Ultraviolet research often requires strong, stable illumination to achieve accurate and repeatable results. LumeDEL’s NewDEL™ UV fiber-coupled LEDs are engineered as high radiant power LEDs, delivering the intensity needed for demanding spectroscopy, photochemistry, and biological assays.

Why High Radiant Power Matters in UV Applications:

  • Improved Sensitivity – Stronger illumination increases signal-to-noise ratios for more precise detection.

  • Reliable Performance – Stable output ensures consistent results across long experiments.

  • Greater Flexibility – High output supports a wide range of applications, from fluorescence excitation to sterilization studies.

  • Efficient Operation – High power delivery without excessive heat protects sensitive samples.

By combining high radiant power with fiber-coupled precision, NewDEL™ UV LEDs provide researchers with the confidence and performance needed for advanced chemical, biological, and industrial analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does “high radiant power” mean in UV LEDs?

High radiant power refers to the intensity of light output. In UV research, stronger illumination improves signal-to-noise ratios, making measurements more accurate and repeatable.

Why are high radiant power LEDs important for spectroscopy and UV analysis?

Many spectroscopy and biological assays rely on detecting faint signals. High radiant power LEDs ensure enough intensity to excite samples effectively and improve detection sensitivity.

How do high radiant power LEDs compare to traditional UV lamps?

Unlike arc or mercury lamps, high radiant power LEDs provide stable output without warm-up time, generate less heat, and last thousands of hours with minimal maintenance.

Can high radiant power LEDs damage sensitive samples?

No. LumeDEL’s NewDEL™ UV LEDs are engineered to deliver strong output efficiently while minimizing excess heat, protecting delicate chemical and biological samples.
