Marktech Optoelectronics Introduces 235nm and 255nm High Power Dual Chip UVC LEDs – 2X the Power of Single Chip UVC LEDs

[Latham, NY, June 25, 2024]—Marktech Optoelectronics, a pioneer in optoelectronic technologies, is excited to announce the launch of its innovative dual-chip UVC LEDs in 235nm and 255nm wavelengths. These high-power UVC LEDs are engineered to double the power output of traditional single-chip LEDs, meeting the need for more effective deep UVC light sources for purification and instrumentation applications across various industries.

High-power dual-chip deep UVC LEDs with peak wavelengths of 235nm and 255nm.

By integrating two UVC LEDs within a single package, Marktech has successfully doubled the light output, significantly enhancing the efficiency and range of germicidal and analytical applications. These enhancements are crucial in environments with high turbidity, such as water purification systems and water quality sensors, where increased power is essential to maintain instrument or sensor effectiveness. Additionally, the high-power output proves vital in improving the performance of air and surface sanitization and sterilization solutions where rapid and effective disinfection is necessary. The hermetic TO-can package protects the compound semiconductor UVC device from environmental degradation resulting in high-reliability and long life.

Key Features and Benefits of the New High Power Dual Chip UVC LEDs

1. Enhanced Power Output: These UVC LEDs offer superior performance in critical sterilization tasks by doubling the light output compared to single-chip models.
2. Broad Application Range: These products are ideal for use in high-demand environments, including healthcare facilities, public transport systems, and residential applications that require stringent disinfection protocols. The higher UVC light output can be beneficial in analytical sensing applications, too.
3. Efficiency and Durability: They are designed to provide a reliable, long-lasting solution with lower energy consumption and minimal maintenance compared to conventional UV light sources.
4. Safety and Eco-Friendliness: These dual-chip UVC LEDs are mercury-free and designed to be safer for the environment and end-users with the Silanna Safe™ 235nm LEDs, resulting in even lower irritation to human skin than 255nm LEDs.

“These new dual-chip UVC LEDs are a game-changer for industries requiring high-intensity disinfection solutions,” said Vince Forte, Chief Technology Officer at Marktech Optoelectronics. They provide more power, efficiency, and increased safety utilizing the 235nm UV range, aligning with our sustainability and health safety commitment.”

Marktech Optoelectronics continues to lead the way in UV technology by providing innovative solutions that address the complex challenges faced by design engineers and health safety professionals today. The new dual-chip UVC LEDs are now available, offering next-level performance in water-quality sensors and high-reliability germicidal applications.
