iSLight, a spin-out company from Tyndall, has developed ground-breaking speckle free, surface-emitting blue SLEDs (high power blue superluminescent LEDs).

This newly developed technology has world record-breaking peak optical power, with extremely high-resolution beam quality. This is significant, as it offers advanced solutions for numerous applications including:

• Machine inspection instruments
• Direct imaging lithography
• VR/AR headsets
• Projection displays
• Microscopy imaging systems
• Lighting systems
• 3D printing

iSLight provides speckle-free sources with more compact and lower production cost than commercial lasers maintaining similar power density and efficiency. This cutting-edge technology increases the definition and quality of projected light images, with high efficiency. While the iSLight SLEDS are currently blue (400-450nm), it can also scale to other wavelengths (green, red, infrared). 

iSLight uses a patented design in photonic devices to engineer SLEDs with:

• Scalable and high optical power
• Wader scale process (low production cost)
• Compact modules
• Ultrashort light pulses

The iSLight team will be attending the world’s largest photonics technologies event, SPIE Photonics West, in San Francisco from Tuesday, January 31, to Thursday, February 2, at Booth 4645. 

The team will be there to demonstrate and discuss this pioneering technology. Be sure to visit the team or get in touch in advance to arrange a meeting.
