“…This type of radiation has promising potential for varied applications, mostly related to the characterization of chemicals, security, pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetic, food, and agricultural industries, which contribute to the continued advancement of modern technology. [1][2][3][4][5] Radiation sources such as tungsten halogen lamps, NIR light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and phosphor-converted LEDs (pc-LEDs) can emit in the infrared range. 6 However, the selection of these radiation sources for varied applications is based on the wavelength, full width at half maximum (FWHM), lifetime, efficiency, and thermal stability.…”
