EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH, a leading global manufacturer and innovator of custom and standard LEDs and photodetectors, announces a significant breakthrough in surface-mount device (SMD) shortwave infrared (SWIR) LED technology, delivering more output power than is currently available in today’s market.
The company’s new OCI-460 SWIR LED series features markedly improved output power compared to the company’s previous OCI-480 package and all competitive SMD SWIR LED devices. For example, model OCI-460 ID1550-XS operates at 1550 nm and features drive current up to 1.5A to deliver approximately 13% higher output efficiency over EPIGAP‘s OCI-480 package. This impressive advancement features 96% higher output power at 1550 nm, 147mW, compared to any other SWIR SMD LED currently on the market. Other SWIR LED models in the new OCI-460 series operate at wavelengths of 1040 nm, 1200 nm, 1300 nm, and 1460 nm. Output power varies depending on the specific model.
Ideal for use in sensing, machine vision, and gas sensing, EPIGAP OSA’s newly-developed SMD SWIR LED design utilizes an industry-standard 3535 footprint combining a silicone dome and ceramic package to ensure excellent thermal efficiency. Each package in the OCI-460 series integrates electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices for longer life and reliable performance.
Matthias Gamp, EPIGAP OSA’s CEO, notes, “We are particularly pleased to introduce the highest output power SMD SWIR LEDs at Laser World of Photonics, June 24-27, 2025, in Munich. We will have engineering samples in our hall A2, booth 317, and invite attendees to stop by for a demonstration of our newest product line. Mass production is slated for Q4 of 2025. We also proudly offer complete LED and photodetector solutions and customization, from design and development to prototyping, series production, and supply chain management. Our commitment to quality and customer service reflects the highest standards in German engineering and we welcome the opportunity to meet with you at the show and partner with you for all your LED and photodetector needs.”
