Product information "High-power LCS-Series Collimated LED Light Sources"

UV-NIR; 365-980 nm; 0.84-15 W; Iop 350-3,500 mA; Vop 1.4-15.5 V; Typ. Output Power 30-1,500 mW

Mightex’s high-power LCS-Series of collimated LED light sources employ a high-NA (numerical aperture) aspherical collimating lens for precision collimation and high light throughput. Four mechanically differing sub-series with clear apertures of 11, 22, 38 and 48 mm are available.

A LED collimator consists of a collimating lens and a LED emitter. The LED emitter is placed at the focal plane of the collimating lens. The collimating lens thus images the LED emitter into infinity.

LED collimators can be used as the light source in an illumination system. For example, LED collimators can replace the standard lamp assembly in a microscope to provide stable, intense, and fast-modulated illumination. Typically, the rest of the illumination optics will image the LED emitter onto the pupil of the imaging optics whereas the lens aperture on the collimator where intensity is uniform will be projected onto the object. In other illumination applications, similar arrangement should be made to produce uniform and efficient illumination.

The LED emitters of the high-power LCS-Series collimated LED light sources are mounted directly onto the metal base of the collimator which also features an integrated heat sink. This configuration minimizes thermal resistance between the LED emitter and the heat sink resulting in better heat dissipation. The collimating lens can be adjusted if needed for precise collimation. A locking ring fixes the lens position after adjustment. The collimators have been pre-adjusted in the factory.

Multi-chip LED emitters (i.e. Type-B) have been added to the high-power LCS-Series product portfolio. Some of these 7 W to 15 W LEDs have total optical power exceeding 1 W, quadrupling the power of a single-chip LED. Such Type-B models with higher powers (7 W and higher) feature a cooling fan and have a different form factor compared to other models. Please examine the installation drawings carefully. Power supply for the cooling fan is included in the price of the Type-B LCS-Series of collimated LED light sources.

The LED collimators include a 1.5-meter cable with two bare-wire terminals at the end for universal LED controllers. Models with 22 or 48 mm clear aperture are also available connectorized for Mightex BLS-Series LED controllers. The light sources can be driven by Mightex LED controllers or other LED controllers and current sources.

An optional focusing module can be mounted on the front of the LED collimator to focus light into a tight spot which is an image of the LED emitter. One of the applications with the focusing module is coupling LED light into a fiber or a lightguide.

Additional interchangeable collimating lenses are available to produce different beam sizes with the same light source.

Accessories for Lightguide-coupled LED Light Sources

Accessories for Mightex’s GCS-Series of lightguide-coupled LED light sources comprise an electrical cable (product number ACC-GCS-C05), a heatsink for 3 mm core liquid lightguides (product number ACC-LLG-HS-03), a range of liquid lightguides and lightguide adapters as well as lightguide collimators. Nine different LLG liquid lightguides are available in three wavelength ranges (300 to 650 nm, 340 to 800 nm and 420 to 2000 nm), with 3 or 5 mm core for 5 or 7 mm ferrule diameters respectively, a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.59 and lengths of 1 or 2 m. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Lightguide-coupled LED Light Sources Overview” and the downloadable installation drawing. Four different lightguide adapters for Type-A GCS-Series lightguide-coupled LED light sources are available. Each Type-A GCS device comes with a standard lightguide adapter for 5 mm diameter ferrule (A0510). Other adapters (as well as additional standard adapters) can be purchased separately, for lightguides with ferrule diameters of 5, 6, 7 or 8 mm and ferrule lengths of 10 mm or greater. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Lightguide-coupled LED Light Sources Overview”. Four different lightguide adapters for Type-B GCS-Series lightguide-coupled LED light sources are available, for lightguides with ferrule diameters of 5, 7, 8 or 10 mm and ferrule lengths of 15 mm or greater. For details, please refer to the downloadable “Accessories for Lightguide-coupled LED Light Sources Overview”. Four different lightguide collimators are used to either couple light from free space into a lightguide or collimate light from a lightguide to form a collimated (parallel) optical beam. Lightguide collimators are key components with numerous applications. For example, a lightguide collimator can project light from a lightguide into a uniform spot in free space.High-numerical-aperture aspherical lenses are used for precise collimation and maximum light throughput. The collimators feature adjustable focus from ~100 mm to infinity. Various lightguide ferrule diameters are supported. Customization is available for other ferrule diameters. For further details, please refer to the downloadable datasheet and the downloadable “Accessories for Lightguide-coupled LED Light Sources Overview”.

LCS-BC25 Multi-wavelength Beam Combiners

Beam Combiners for 22 mm Dia. Collimated LED Light Sources; 255-940 nm; Clear Aperture 25 mm Dia.; Reflection ~30->95%; Transmission ~45->95%; Integrated Filter Well Mightex LCS-BC25 series of multi-wavelength beam combiners combine two collimated LED light sources of different wavelengths into a single collimated beam. Multiple combiners can be cascaded to combine more than two collimated LED light sources. At the heart of the LCS-BC25 beam combiners is a high-performance dichroic beamsplitter that combines two wavelengths with >95% efficiency. A neutral beamsplitter is also available as a lower-cost solution for applications where maximum light throughput is not required. LCS-BC25 beam combiners are characterized by the edge wavelengths of their dichroic beamsplitters. Please check the downloadable data sheet to select the correct beam combiner for the intended collimated LED light source. The beam combiner includes multiple mounting holes and threads so that it can be easily integrated into a system. Each input port features a fine 2-axis tilt adjustment to allow precise alignment of the collimated LED light sources relative to system optical axis. A robust locking mechanism is also provided to maintain alignment over time. Additionally, adapters are also available for coupling to major brands of microscopes. For adding optical filters to the input ports, a filter well is integrated into each input port so that a 25.4 mm (1”) diameter optical filter can be inserted in between the LED light source and the beamsplitter. Narrow band filters and polarizers may be used to clean up LED spectrum or change the polarization state of the output beam. Here are the dimension requirement for the dichroic/beamsplitters to be fit into the beam combiner cubes: Length: 34 to 36 mm Width: 25 to 26.5 mm Thickness: 1 mm recommended, 1.5 mm max. Multiple beam combiners can be connected using dedicated connecting plates (sold separately). Currently, Mightex’s LCS-BC25 multi-wavelength beam combiners can only be used to directly combine 22-mm diameter collimated LED light sources. For 11-mm diameter collimated LED light sources, a mechanical adapter (Product Number ACC-BC25-011) can be used to attach the LED light sources to the beam combiners, before the 11-mm diameter collimated LED light sources can be combined.
