Superluminescent LED drivers can help us understand ocean turbulence, here’s how
The latest whitepaper from Wavelength Electronics reveals how a superluminescent light emitting diode (SLED) served as the scintillometer source for optical ocean turbulence characterisation in place of a commonly used laser diode. Wavelength Electronics' LDTC1020 laser diode and temperature controller provided the stable current and temperature required in the portable design.

Wavelength Electronics’ LFI3751 temperature controller provided the precision to support a new biosensor developed in Spain and based on the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1α. The biosensor provides critical information about the size and location of in vivo tumors, as well as their micro-environment. The LFI maintained the narrow linewidth and stable wavelength necessary for fluorescence spectroscopy with integration times of 0.5 seconds and measurement increments of 1nm.
