Many applications require wavelength-switchable sources. For example, in vision applications different types of objects may require different illumination wavelengths for optimized contrast. Mightex motorized WheeLEDTM wavelength-switchable LED sources let users switch between a wide-range selection of LED sources with different wavelengths and/or white LEDs. The selected LEDs are installed in the light source chassis in the factory. Users can then switch among the installed LEDs via the provided software GUI.
A high-NA aspherical collimating optics is included for precision collimation and high light throughput. Clear aperture of the optics is 22mm in diameter. Other optional optics may be added for fiber/lightguide coupling and other functions.
The light source includes an integrated software and analog-input driver. Over-current protection is built into the light source to prevent potential damage during switching.
An optional focusing module can be mounted on the front of the LED collimator to focus light into a tight spot which is an image of the LED emitter. An optional light guide adapter is available to couple the LED light into a lightguide, and an optional fiber-coupling adapter is available to couple the LED light into a multimode fiber patchcord.
How to order a WheeLED?
Here are the steps:
1) A WheeLED wavelength-switchable LED source consists of a main chassis (P/N: WLS-22-M for motorized version). Up to 10 LED’s can be added to the Motorized WheeLED chassis;
2) Add up to ten (10) desired LED emitters (P/N: WLS-LED-xxxx-xx) to your Motorized WheeLED;
3) During checkout, in the note section, mark the handwheel position for each wavelength. For example: Position#1: 470nm, Position#2: 365nm, and Position#6: 530nm.
