New Series of Infrared LED’s for Moisture Meter Applications

Hamamatsu Photonics has released a new Infrared LED, the L12771 series, aimed at moisture meter applications where specific wavelengths are required as the reference light source.

The L12771 series has a peak emission wavelength of 1.3 µm with a high radiant output power of typically 2.8 mW. There are two options available; the L12771, a standard type LED with wide angle directivity, and the L12771-01, a lens type LED with more focused light output and higher radiant flux than the standard type.

These LEDs also offer you low cost vs. performance at the long emission wavelengths required for moisture detection, but also for agricultural applications such as grain separation.
