Driven by global warming, the impending energy crisis and environmental regulatory requirements, new technology is needed by the lighting industry to replace the incandescent bulbs that most countries have agreed to scrap by the middle of the decade. SPL’s patent pending technology expects to be at the forefront of developments that will meet this need; LEDs made via the SPL procedure will have exceptional performance, efficiency and a significant reduction in the cost of manufacture, enabling ultrahigh efficient LEDs to be the first choice replacement for incandescent bulbs.

The aim of SPL is to unlock the full potential of nitride-based, ultrahigh efficient, white LEDs and complete the illumination revolution we are currently experiencing.

SPL’s revolutionary procedure is targeted at the large and fast growing white LED markets such as back lighting for laptop computers and TVs, signs and displays as well as domestic and architectural lighting. The HB-LED Market is currently worth an estimated $5bn and is set to grow to $12bn by 2013. SPL has the potential to revolutionise the illumination markets and be a key contributor to reducing green house gas emissions.

Raman spectroscopy is fingerprint technique which provides specific chemical bonds in molecules of a broad range of materials - solid or aqueous. The technique is a non-invasive, non-destructive method with little or no sample preparation. The spatial resolution is up to the order of half micron. Renishaw inVia system is beneficial from high resolution, high sensitivity, high flexibility, and full upgradability. StreamLine fast imaging can realise super fast 2D Raman scanning (or imaging) without sacrificing resolution. It is 100 times fast than tradition way of Raman mapping.
