What Does SLED Stand For?
SLED stands for Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode
SLED, or Superluminescent Light Emitting Diode, is a type of optical source that combines the properties of both light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers. It emits broadband light with high coherence and a broad spectral width, making it ideal for applications such as optical coherence tomography, telecommunications, and biomedical imaging. SLEDs provide advantages over traditional light sources by offering improved resolution and sensitivity while avoiding coherence-related artifacts typically observed in laser systems.
