Photonics West: A Successful Showcase of Our LEDs
With 10 years of experience as a Sales Manager at Marubeni, I can honestly say that Photonics West was one of the most thrilling events I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of. It wasn’t just about showcasing our wide wavelength range LEDs, stretching from 365nm to 1900nm—it was about seeing how our technology could be used in ways that really impact industries around the world. The chance to connect with so many different customers, each with unique needs and visions, was invaluable.
The buzz around our small EDP packages with SWIR flip chips for wearable devices, as well as our 8-in-1 packages for different applications, was incredibly exciting. It’s clear that our LEDs are becoming essential in many emerging fields. With over a decade in sales, I’ve seen firsthand how vital it is to stay ahead of trends—and this event reinforced just how much potential there is for our products.
Key Takeaways from Photonics West
SWIR LEDs for Wearable Devices
The interest in our EDP packages in the 1100nm–1800nm range was huge, especially for wearable health devices, cell inspection, and smart farming. This kind of precise technology is exactly what customers are seeking as wearable devices become more sophisticated.
EDCC and EDP Packages
The attention around our EDCC packages (1100–1900nm range) from healthcare and wearable device companies was a great reminder of how our tech fits into a wide variety of industries. I’m especially excited about the 8-in-1 packages, which provide innovative solutions for multi-wavelength applications, such as cell inspections.
Solar Panel Diagnostics
We saw a growing interest in our high-efficiency packages in the 780–1000nm range, a great fit for solar panel diagnostics. It was inspiring to see how these LEDs can support the renewable energy industry.
Smart Agriculture
As I’ve been following the smart agriculture sector closely, I was thrilled to see how our LED solutions are being integrated into precision farming. People were excited about how these LEDs could be used to optimize crop growth and farming efficiency.
Broadband LEDs
Our 400–1100nm broadband LEDs attracted strong interest at the show, with valuable feedback coming from industries like medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Additionally, we observed a growing demand from industrial research for 1000–2500nm broadband LEDs, which opens up an exciting opportunity for us to consider expanding our product range in the future.
High-Efficient SWIR LEDs
The demand for our 1000-1550nm high-power SWIR LEDs was high, especially for security cameras and other high-performance systems that require modulation frequencies and high power.
Germanium Photodetectors
We had a solid amount of interest from Germanium photodetector companies looking for our narrow-tolerance SWIR LEDs in the 1050nm–1450nm range—essential for high-precision sensing.
MD&M: A Glimpse into the Medical Device Market
Even though we didn’t have a booth at MD&M, attending the event was a priority for me, and with 10 years of experience in sales, I can honestly say it was an incredibly eye-opening experience. With over 20,000 professionals and 1,500 exhibitors, the event offered a great opportunity to understand the direction of the medical device industry.
