OPV382 Datasheet PDF - TT Electronics/Optek Technology

The OPV382 is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged in a

●dome 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 dome lens packaging creates a narrow beam angle from the device.

●Long distance applications may benefit from this feature as secondary optics may be

●eliminated, reducing total system cost. The OPV382 is optically and spectrally compatible

●with Optek"s standard detector products such as the OP500 series phototransistors, OP530

●series photodarlingtons and the OP900 series photodiodes.
