Understanding And Choosing UV LEDs

Although considerably younger than other in-use light sources, UV-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a rapidly advancing technology at the center of a constantly shifting market.

It has been just over 30 years since the Nobel Prize winner Isamu Akasaki first developed this technology and opened up new areas of application, especially with short UV wavelengths between 320 nm and 100 nm.

This guide is an overview, as well as a practical decision-making aid, to help you find a suitable UV LED no matter your application or need.
