Looking for Deep UV LED (<300nm) of Decent Power on Order of 1W

Thanks.

First link is mostly about UV photosensors, driving electronics and deuterium lamps, so I couldn't find anything useful for this app.

Second link seems to be a bulseye hit. Output power is not over 1W, but close, and things are not exactly dirt cheap, but they are kind of unique, so price seems reasonable.

This is far better than anything I managed to find so far.

Thanks again.

Before posting, I had not checked the site. I went by the allusions in the URL.

Would you be better off with an excimer laser ?

It seems quite expensive. Also, they state it is operated in pulse mode and with a very low frequency ( in kHZ range), so it does not seem particularly viable at this point.

But it would still be nice to have a link to source of cheap excimer DUV lasers though ;o)

We use Sensor Electronic Tech. for high power UV LEDs, they go down to 240nm.

Another option you might want to consider is a small Mercury lamp. These Mercury UV lamps have a very strong, very narrow emission line at 254 nm. You can get these lamps with more than 1 watt of output power, and with the proper drive electronics they can be switched on/off very fast. You can place a pen lamp Hg lamp into a reflective chamber with a pinhole emission port and then use your optics to focus the light as needed.

Whichever way you go, LED or Hg lamp, be sure to use quartz or borosilicate lenses, or aluminized mirrors, for your optics. Conventional soda lime or flint glass lenses will absorb UV, as will most plastic lenses.
