Ultra High CRI LEDs


We have found some incredibly high color quality LEDs based on Red-Green-Blue phosphors pumped by near UV LEDs. Currently, white LEDs can be made by several different methods. The most common method is to combine a yellow phosphor wavelength converter …

microLIBS Engine


Today, most Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) systems are large and bulky.  This is typically due to the fact that the laser that generates the plasma is a flash-lamp pumped, nanosecond, q-switched system illuminating the target with tens of millijoules …
