Light is moving far beyond the scope of illumination. It is now a carrier of data, a tool for sensing, and essential for new forms of interaction.
The shift lies in the digitalization of light: highly pixelated micro emitter arrays and optical sensors, combined with digital interfaces, enable a new generation of smart, programmable optical systems. Illumination, projection, data transmission, and sensing are converging into one technology field. The timing is critical. Megatrends like artificial intelligence, automated driving, augmented and virtual reality, smart health, robotics, and data centers exponentially increase demand for faster, more efficient data capture and transmission. Digital photonics address this new reality.
This is just the beginning. Together with you – our customers – new ideas and applications constantly emerge, unlocking significant growth potential.

UV‑C power for fast, efficient disinfection
The latest OSLON™ UV 3535 LEDs – SU CULCP1.VC, SU CULDP2.VC and SU CULGP1.VC – bring higher germicidal performance to compact UV‑C systems. Operating at 265 nm or 275 nm with excellent wall‑plug efficiency and long lifetime, they support fast, energy‑efficient pathogen inactivation in air, water and surface treatment where reliability and cost per dose matter most.

Optical sensing: non-invasive insight into long term metabolic stress
Classic vital signs like heart rate or blood pressure capture only snapshots of health, while many risk factors build up over time. Measuring Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) via skin autofluorescence offers a promising optical marker for long‑term metabolic load. Using tailored emitters and sensitive photodiodes, device makers can integrate this non‑invasive parameter into next‑generation digital health solutions. |
| Faster multi-vital sign prototyping with integrated hardware and algorithms
Speed up wearable and embedded health development with the Life Metrics Click board™, built on the AS7058 multi‑vital sign AFE and SFH 7074 optical biomonitoring sensor. In one setup, engineers can evaluate PPG, ECG, BioZ and EDA, then transition quickly from lab tests to real‑world applications using AS7058 variants with integrated algorithms.

| In cabin sensing: 940 nm illumination with reduced red glow
As camera based driver and occupant monitoring move into the cabin, reliable infrared illumination is critical. The OSLON™ Black IR:6 C Series extends the ams OSRAM 940 nm infrared LED portfolio with high power emitters that deliver consistent face, gaze and presence detection – while reducing red glow, keeping in cabin illumination effective yet largely imperceptible.
