Revolutionizing Lighting: The Future of Infrared LED Lamp Beads Technology

Introduction to Infrared LED Lamp Beads

1. Definition and Basic Concept

Infrared LED lamp beads, also known as infrared LED lamps, are a type of semiconductor light-emitting device that emits infrared light. They are widely used in various fields, such as household appliances, medical equipment, and industrial automation. The infrared LED lamp bead has the characteristics of low power consumption, long life, and fast response, and has become an important part of the modern lighting industry.

2. Working Principle

The working principle of infrared LED lamp beads is based on the photoelectric effect of semiconductors. When the forward voltage is applied to the semiconductor material, electrons and holes are generated in the material. These electrons and holes recombine and emit photons with a certain energy, which is infrared light. The energy of the emitted photons is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor material, and the wavelength of the emitted light is in the infrared range.

3. Types of Infrared LED Lamp Beads

According to the wavelength of the emitted light, infrared LED lamp beads can be divided into short-wave infrared, medium-wave infrared, and long-wave infrared. Short-wave infrared has a wavelength of 0.76-3.0 micrometers, medium-wave infrared has a wavelength of 3.0-5.0 micrometers, and long-wave infrared has a wavelength of 5.0-15.0 micrometers. Different types of infrared LED lamp beads have different applications.
