What you learn
- challenges of growing efficient bulk UV LEDs
- performing inspection with conventional optical microscopy techniques
- benefits of using cathodoluminescence for studying UV LED devices
UV LED devices are more and more commonly used in skin treatment, tanning, and plant lighting, as well as killing or inactivating pathogens for disinfection of laboratory equipment, air, water, and food. However, developing and producing efficient UV LED devices still poses a challenge. Read this application note to learn how cathodoluminescence can be used to inspect UV LEDs.
