High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
This new class of lasers will facilitate a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) revolution in short-reach high-bandwidth optical interconnects.
WDM was previously restricted to telecomms due to the costly laser arrays required.
Today, powered by a single InnoComb, WDM can finally be harnessed for low-cost, short-reach computer interconnects.
