OPV380 Overview
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 pared to infrared LEDs. These devices require substantially lower drive currents to obtain the same amount of output power as LEDs.
OPV380 Key Features
- 850 nm VCSEL technology
- High thermal stability
- Low drive current
- High output power
- Narrow beam angle
