Visible, UV, and IR light are all used in currency inspection. For this particular application, the customer required a single, compact illuminator that had visible and NIR infrared in one source. The light was to be used specifically for the identification of taggants. In high-value materials such as currency and even pharmaceuticals and electronics, for example, the use of taggants is common. Taggants can be either absorbing or reflecting taggants and can be UV as well as IR. In this particular case, the system was being designed to inspect infrared taggants.<\/p>\n<h2>COBRA MultiSpec<\/h2>\n<p>Initially, ProPhotonix supplied a demo enabling the customer to test the unit in their system. Working with the customer, ProPhotonix configured a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/led-and-laser-products\/led-products\/led-line-lights\/cobra-multispec-multispectral-led-line-light\/\">COBRA MultiSpec<\/a> to address the application\u2019s needs. ProPhotonix\u2019 multispectral line light, COBRA MultiSpec, features Chip-on-Board LED technology enabling a compact form factor and can be configured with up to 12 wavelengths from 365nm to 1650nm. A three-color LED line light tailored to this application with two types of white LEDs, and one infrared at 855nm was quickly supplied to the customer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13267 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chart-300x225.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chart-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chart-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chart-106x80.png 106w, https:\/\/www.prophotonix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chart.png 668w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, in order to meet the customer\u2019s challenging commercial targets, the electronics were optimized for this specific application.
