Infrared Emitting Diode (IRED)

A semiconducting device which emits non-coherent, narrowband, non-ionizing radiation at wavelengths from 700nm to 1mm by a process of spontaneous emission. Often incorrectly called Infrared LEDs or SLDs. IREDs are mostly used in multiple-emitter clusters, and are sometimes combined with LEDs to produce a multiwavelength (polychromatic) therapeutic device.
