(EPIGAP OSA: Berlin) -- EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH, a leading global manufacturer of custom and standard LEDs and photodetectors, announces an innovative single-chip broadband LED source, the OCL-480 GIR.

EPIGAP is the sole provider of the groundbreaking broadband conversion surface-mounted devices (SMD) featuring an extremely wide spectral range. The new OCL-480 GIR emits a broad spectrum from 420 nm to 1,050 nm, with radiant intensity of 95 mW/sr (typical) and a viewing angle of 120°. The remarkable, high-power broadband SMD LED conveniently replaces specialty lamps that produce too much heat, are obsolete, or nearing end of life.
The OCL-480 XE428 model is an ideal replacement for mercury lamps. Additional devices from EPIGAP’s extensive broadband conversion SMD LED product line easily replace older lighting technologies such as Xenon and tungsten-halogen.

EPIGAP’s high-power, broad-spectrum LEDs are successfully used in biomedical analysis and hyperspectral imaging applications. Other uses include spectroscopy, agricultural analysis and food illumination, medical research and tissue analysis, environmental monitoring, and security.

Matthias Gamp, EPIGAP OSA Photonics group’s CEO, says, “We are proud to be the only company in the world that manufactures broadband conversion SMD LEDs with the expansive spectral range of 400 nm to 1,100 nm. Our newest offering combines with our vast LED and photodetector product lines to reflect our ongoing commitment to manufacturing products with German engineering excellence. We are delighted to offer this new broadband LED option to our customers and our potential customers all over the world.”
