Photodevices for Sensors
Various Applications for Optical & Opto Sensors
Kyosemi Corporation is one of the leading optoelectronic component suppliers to manufacturers of Bank note readers and Rotary encoding devices.
We are expanding our market reach into Intelligent Transport System (ITS) applications and making efforts in developing new applications for Image processing, Surveillance camera, Light source for plant growth, Sterilization/Disinfection equipment and Gas analyzer and so on.
At the present, Ultraviolet (UV) photodiodes and LEDs based on GaN, are being developed in UV-A (315-400nm) for the shorter wavelength region less than visible light, Moreover, GaN based UV sensors in UV-B (280-315m) are still going under development. On the other hand, the photodiodes and LEDs based on InGaAs are developed in Near Infra Red region (NIR) (0.780-3.0μm) as well as in Mid-Infrared (3.0-50μm) for the longer wavelength more than infrared light, too. We have actively enhanced our product lineup thus far.
In the market of short wavelength light, photo-detecting devices are going to be used for flame-detector, LED and Mercury lamp monitors and UV radiometer. On the other hand, light emitting devices are to be used for curing epoxy resin, bill validation and light source for analyzer, etc.
In the market of long wavelength light, Applications for Moisture detection assay by NIR photodiode that combines a NIR LED (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: NIRS) as well as an illuminating LED for NIR camera are very anticipated in future.
For your information, Si-based UV sensors are available in the market well before above GaN based ones.
LEDs
Emission wavelengths range from 365nm that is the shortes among UV-A to the longest of 1650nm in NIR.
