Violumas announces ultra-narrow beam UV LED

Violumas, a US provider of high-power UV LED solutions, has launched an ultra narrow 10° beam device suitable for collimation, focused illumination, long distance, and fibre coupling applications.
The VioBeam-1X1 series is available in 255nm, 265nm, 275nm, 295nm, and 310nm wavelengths and delivers up to 0.1W optical output. The integrated 10° optic maximises UV light in a small target area, according to the company.
Compared to a typical 135° flat window, the VioBeam-1X1 can emit up to 55 times higher intensity in a small spot size of 10x10mm at 50mm distance, thereby achieving high dosage targets with fewer LEDs.
Violumas says the LED’s high far-field intensity and focused spot illumination can be used for applications in life sciences, water disinfection, curing, spectroscopy, environmental monitoring, air purification, research, and more.
For fibre coupling applications, the VioBeam-1X1 can be coupled directly to an optical fibre or integrated with a secondary optic to achieve a collimated UV light source with minimal optical losses and costs.
The device can be directly mounted into systems as a solder-free LED or provided with a heatsink as a plug-and-play module.
