Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM)™ Technology
Features and Benefits

Phoseon’s proprietary Semiconductor Light Matrix (SLM) technology combines a dense array of light emitting semiconductor devices, with micro optics and advanced thermal technology in a cost-effective MOEMS (micro opto electro-mechanical system) package. The result is a high intensity UV light system that offers an efficient, scalable, safe, long-life, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional UV sources. Phoseon's SLM approach is to use proprietary packaging, optics, and thermal design to optimize the output.

Features: SLM technology is implemented with an array of light emitting semiconductors that are configured into a system which performs the following:

  • The light is efficiently collected and directed at the target using micro optics.

  • The heat generated by the array is managed with conductive packaging technology.

  • Electronic control allows instant on/off and light intensity control.

  • Individual semiconductor devices are insensitive to failures of other devices in the array.

  • SLM arrays produce uniform and high intensity UV output.

Benefits: Cooler, More Intense, Longer Life, Precise Control

  • The full-intensity lifetime of SLM devices is expected to be 15,000+ hours compared to less than 2,000 hours with traditional lamps. 

  • Power consumption is approximately 50% less than that of equivalently-intense lamps, reducing heat generation and power consumption.

  • SLM arrays are instant on/off, increasing throughput of SLM-based equipment compared to lamp-based equipment, in addition to saving power and heat. 

  • SLM arrays can be constructed to irradiate a wider area more uniformly than lamps, enabling new applications such as web curing of photopolymers using UV SLMs.

  • SLM technology allows for the best cost per watt to produce UV LED curing solutions.
