AVX Corporation has expanded its Zinc Oxide (ZnO) based varistor series to include an 18V-rated version that exhibits a low leakage current of 1µA maximum, which extends battery life in portable devices. The UltraGuard Series multilayer ceramic varistors feature non-linear, bi-directional voltage-current characteristics similar to back-to-back zener diodes with an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) capacitor in parallel.

ON Semiconductor has announced the expansion of its discrete packaging portfolio with new micro-packaged transistors and diodes. The new additions broaden the company’s micro-packaged portfolio of transistors and diodes targeted to meet the needs of today’s most demanding space-constrained portable applications.

Alps Electric has developed the FLGS3 Series aspherical glass lens for optical communication. The FLGS3 Series lens has high optical coupling efficiency and is compatible with wide-angle laser diodes. Mass production and shipments commence in July 2011.

All of the focus on thermal management of light emitting diodes raises the question: is it always worth the cost? For LEDs, every penny must be applied efficiently. The benefits of lower junction temperature are well known, but there is a tipping point between investing additional product cost in thermal management and getting a return on that investment. Good thermal management starts with clear product and application definition.

With the launch of the pilot production line for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) in Regensburg on 30 August, OSRAM has set an important milestone on the road toward volume manufacturing. As a result of its scope of possibilities and its quality criteria, the plant is unique and the first of its kind worldwide. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF - Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung) played an important role with it...

UrbanScape and MetroScape are the latest additions to the broad line-up of Philips outdoor LED luminaires that offer cities and municipalities sustainable, energy-efficient solutions with all the benefits of Philips LUXEON high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs). Through innovative design and the latest in Philips LED technologies, UrbanScape and MetroScape offer flexible solutions that can reduce energy consumption by 40-60 percent over High Int...

ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio of Constant Current Regulators (CCRs) to include the NSI50350A. This simple and extremely robust device is designed to provide a thermally efficient and cost-effective alternative to passive/discrete components or driver integrated circuit (IC) solutions for current regulation of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The device is ideal for a variety of 1 watt (W) lighting applications including automotive, arc...

The 308 FPD™ spectrophotometer is used to measure color and relative intensity on the micron scale allowing for microscopic spatial resolution mapping. It is easily attached to inspection microscopes and probe stations.

Photonic Products is a leading manufacturer of high performance fibre pigtailed and receptacle packaged laser diodes suitable for OEM applications. These include scientific equipment and optical instruments requiring a high quality laser diode light source; visual fibre optic fault locators for communications networks, telecomms systems and telecomms instrumentation and free space optical communications.

OSRAM Opto Semiconductors has achieved a major breakthrough in the laboratory with its direct emitting green indium-gallium-nitride laser. It already achieves an optical output of 50 mW and emits light in true green with a wavelength of 515 nm. Compared with semiconductor lasers based on current technology that operate with frequency doubling, direct emitting green lasers are more compact, offer greater temperature stability, are easier to contro...
