New Infrared LED from Osram for 2D Facial Recognition
Smartphones, tablets and the like can now be unlocked in very different ways: with a password, fingerprint scan or even an iris scan. 2D facial recognition is another method and involves illuminating the user’s face with an infrared light source and capturing the image with an IR camera. The system then compares the image with the images previously stored for the purposes of identification, focusing on characteristic two-dimensional features. If there is a match for the various data such as the width of the mouth, length of the nasal ridge and distance between the eyes then the device will be unlocked.

“UV Power” Research Project Is Working on LED-Replacements for Conventional UV Light Sources
Since February 2017, a total of five research institutes and companies have been working on “UV Power”, a collaborative project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The partners have made it their goal to provide high-power UV LEDs to cover a wide variety of applications. These LEDs will eventually replace conventional UV light sources, which often contain toxic mercury, in areas such as production, disinfection, the environment, life sciences and medicine. UV LEDs are also likely to open up new areas of application.

Issue 63 | Challenges in UV Measurement
Over the past decade UV LEDs have emerged as a highly attractive alternative to conventional
UV emission sources. They are cost effective and energy efficient devices in a small housing.
These advantages allow new fields of applications and access to a larger group of users - even in
the consumer market, e.g. water purification. Dr. Tobias Roesener, Product Manager at Instrument
Systems, explains what makes accurate measurement of UV LEDs so complicated and what the
crucial requirements on the measurement equipment are. In addition, he discusses calibration
and stray light issues.
