Ultraviolet

With an annual, combined $7B market potential, UV light applications for single-crystal AlN substrates include:

• Compact, highly sensitive bioagent detection systems for airborne pathogens such as Anthrax spores.
• Blue/UV solid-state diodes and lasers
• Sterilization and disinfectant devices.
• Compact analytical devices for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical markets (example: water purification)
• High-density data storage devices such as DVDs.
