Next-gen 230nm LED with double intensity

19 Mar, 2026

Silanna UV’s Gen2 SF2 Series is a high reliability LED in the 230-234nm range optimised for water/gas sensing and disinfection with output power and temperature stability double that of previous generation devices.

The SF2 is based on Silanna UV’s industry-leading MBE-grown Short Period Superlattice (SPSL) technology and features a hermetic ball-lensed TO-39 package with a narrow 17° beam achieving up to 4mW/Sr radiant intensity. It is ideal for detection of nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) in water, and detection of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO) gases. These features make this far UVC LED excellent for applications such as chemical and biological analysis, water quality monitoring, gas sensing, liquid chromatography, and disinfection.

The SF2-3T9B5L1’s improved temperature stability minimises the effects of temperature changes, keeping output power and wavelength stable to ensure quality detection readings, setting a new benchmark in far UVC LED technology.
