Intematix Licenses Alternative Phosphors for White LED
Building on its work in rapid materials discovery, Intematix Corp. of Moraga, Calif., recently developed new phosphors for white LEDs and other lighting applications. Currently, YAG is the dominant phosphor technology for use in white LEDs. With Nichia Corp. of Tokyo holding the patent, however, it is used legally only in LEDs made by that manufacturer. Therefore, other manufacturers are...

Tech Pulse
Detector Sensitive from 800 nm to Far-IR
Infrared detection is used in industrial, surveillance, medical and defense applications. Infrared emissions provide a direct insight into an object's temperature, but the shape, size and surface characteristics of an object influence the signal, so that the first-order relation between IR emission and temperature is not exact. If an object's IR emission is measured at several wavelengths, it...
