"The 350-365nm range is the new frontier for LED technology and Fox is well-placed to stimulate this market with an exciting technology roadmap for wavelength reduction and efficiency improvement"
AP Technologies has been appointed as a distributor in the UK and the Republic of Ireland for all of Fox lines of light emitting diodes (LEDs).
"AP Technologies is very pleased to extend our LED offering to include Fox UV devices," said Martin Sharratt, director of AP Technologies.
"UK and Irish companies have proven to be keen adopters of LED technology and I am confident that this pattern will be repeated in the UV region".
Fox's leading line of FoxUV LEDs is undergoing continuous improvement with radiant power output per dollar increasing by over 100% in the past twelve months, and a product development roadmap that is set to be the industry leader at the 350-365nm range.
These developments are enabling a host of applications in medical, biophotonics, sterilisation, biotech sensors, instrumentation, machine vision, telecommunications, industrial curing, fault detection, anti-counterfeiting, forensics, military, and homeland security.
"AP Technologies is a great addition to Fox Group's distributor network," said Barney O'Meara, president and CEO of Fox Group.
"We are confident that AP Technologies will be highly effective in finding and serving the numerous innovative early adopters of UV LEDs in the UK and Ireland, where there exist strong traditions of pioneering in optics and optoelectronics."
