EPIGAP OSA, a leading German innovator in photonic solutions, has expanded its reputation for precision and reliability with a comprehensive range of Through-Hole Technology (THT) LEDs. Built in Berlin with a strong commitment to quality and durability, these devices are engineered to serve industries where consistent performance and easy assembly are indispensable.

The THT LED portfolio is remarkable for its breadth, spanning ultraviolet wavelengths from 225 to 400 nanometers, visible light from 400 to 700 nanometers, and extending deep into the infrared up to 2300 nanometers. This wide spectral coverage ensures suitability across a spectrum of applications, from biomedical diagnostics and environmental monitoring to forensics, security, disinfection, and indicator lighting. Each device is accompanied by precise technical data - covering parameters such as optical power, luminous intensity, drive current, and beam angle - giving engineers and designers a clear roadmap to select the right component for their needs.

The portfolio spans the entire optical spectrum. At one end, the UV THT LEDs cover wavelengths from 225 to 400 nanometers, offering reliable solutions for applications such as sterilization, water and air disinfection, material curing, and advanced forensic analysis. These devices are engineered to deliver stable ultraviolet output while maintaining long operational lifetimes, crucial for both laboratory and industrial environments.

In the visible spectrum, VIS THT LEDs operate between 400 and 700 nanometers, serving applications that range from indicator lighting to medical diagnostics and sensing systems. Their broad color coverage and stable emission make them suitable for both functional illumination and precise optical detection tasks.

Completing the range, IR THT LEDs extend from 700 to 2300 nanometers, supporting critical applications in proximity sensing, gas detection, biomedical analysis, and security systems. These devices are valued for their high optical efficiency and reliability in demanding environments, where infrared detection plays an increasingly vital role in automation, monitoring, and scientific research.

Complementing the emitters, EPIGAP also delivers Detector THTs that ensure precise and reliable signal capture across the same broad spectral range. These detectors are engineered with the same emphasis on stability and long-term durability as the LEDs, making them essential counterparts in optoelectronic systems where accurate light detection is as important as emission. With applications in spectroscopy, biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and industrial automation, Detector THTs expand EPIGAP’s offering into complete, synergistic photonic solutions.

Every device in the THT family is backed by detailed characterization, including wavelength accuracy, output power or sensitivity, drive current, and angular distribution, ensuring that engineers have the specifications they need for seamless integration. For projects requiring more than standard catalog solutions, EPIGAP also provides customized development, reinforcing its role as both a manufacturer and collaborative innovation partner.

By combining UV, VIS, and IR THT LEDs with Detector THTs, EPIGAP OSA delivers a truly comprehensive platform of optoelectronic components. This range not only underscores the precision of German engineering but also demonstrates the company’s commitment to enabling innovation across sensing, illumination, and analytical technologies worldwide.
