Advanced LED Illuminators

StockerYale is an innovative designer and manufacturer of LED-based illumination solutions for our global OEM clients. When designing custom LED-based illuminators, we do not limit ourselves to a single assembly method. Rather, we draw from our assembly tool kit on a case-by-case basis, incorporating various types of LED array building blocks to construct the most suitable, cost-effective solution for the application at hand.

With chip-on-board methods, LEDs can be placed on circuit boards in high density arrays, allowing for compact, extremely bright illuminators.

Our success with LED illuminators is due to specialized expertise in a number of areas, including the selection and/or design of thermally efficient substrates, the design of lensing and diffuser systems, the design of cooling systems for extremely high power illuminators, and the science of LED lifetime.

We are cognizant of the newest and upcoming LED semiconductor technologies, and incorporate them into our modules in order to provide unique, state-of-the-art illuminators for high-performance applications. In the end, we devote significant resources to the perpetual improvement of the optical and thermal performance of our LED array technologies.

These miniature ringlights are an example of the highly specialized custom LED array designs provided by StockerYale. The demanding brightness and uniformity specifications for this pen-sized hand-held dental tool were particularly challenging due to the small size requirement. Chip-on-board technology provided the solution. An individual ellipsoidal lenslet is positioned over each of the twelve blue-emitting LED chips. The lenses are integrated into a custom-designed injection-molded plastic circular unit.

The truly unique advantage offered by StockerYale is that we are not just an LED array maker, but also a diversified optics company. With our LED modules, customers benefit from the company's overall optics expertise in lens design, lasers and other illumination technologies. Strong optical modeling and design skills enable us to overcome the various difficulties inherent in the engineering of LED illumination. For example, drawing on our design and modeling resources, we are able to produce LED modules that generate illumination fields with truly superior uniformity, as required for applications in machine vision, medical photonics and security ID.
