Opto Diode Introduces High-Powered GaAlAs Near-IR Emitters

July 6, 2015 – Camarillo, CA – Opto Diode (www.optodiode.com), an ITW company, introduces the OD-110W GaAlAs near-infrared (IR) Emitters. Designed for night vision and surveillance applications, the new near-IR light-emitting diodes (nearIRLEDs) feature a uniform optical beam with a typical peak emission wavelength of 850 nm and optical output of 140 mW.

Ideal for rugged applications such as harsh industrial environments or deployment in the field, these durable near-IRLEDs are housed in standard 3-lead, TO-39 hermetically-sealed packages and have gold plating on all surfaces. The four wire bonds are positioned on the die corners to minimize potential artifacts in imaging applications.

The chip size is 0.026 in. x 0.026 in. and all materials are RoHS compliant. Typical performance includes a half intensity beam angle of 110 degrees, forward voltage of 1.7 volts and rise and fall times of 20 nanoseconds each.

Opto Diode’s full line of high powered 850 nm emitters offers a range of performance attributes to meet your application requirements. To learn more about the company’s near-IRLEDs, please visit http://optodiode.com/products.html.
