versions
OPV322, OPV322TX, OPV322TXV
Features: 850nmVCSEL technology High thermal stability Low drive current High output power Narrow Beam Angle
Description
The OPV322 is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged in a dome lens pill package. VCSEL 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. TX and TXV versions are processed per MIL-PRF-19500. The dome lens packaging creates a narrow beam angle from the device.
