OPV380 Datasheet PDF - TT Electronics/Optek Technology

The OPV380 is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged

●in a flat lens lateral package. VCSELs offer many advantages in sensing

●applications when compared to infrared LEDs. These devices require substantially

●lower drive currents to obtain the same amount of output power as LEDs. This feature

●allows VCSELs to be used in low power consumption applications such as battery

●operated equipment. The flat lens packaging allows the device to be used with secondary

●optics to create custom beam profiles. The OPV380 is optically and spectrally compatible

●with Optek"s standard detector products such as the OP550 series phototransistors, OP530

●series photodarlingtons and the OP900 series photodiodes.

● 850nm VCSEL technology

● High thermal stability

● Low drive current

● High output power

● Flat lens package

●Applications
