OPV380

The OPV380 is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) offers many advantages in sensing applications when compared to infrared LEDs. This device requires substantially lower drive currents to obtain the same amount of output power as LEDs. This feature allows VCSEL to be used in low power consumption applications such as battery operated equipment. This is optically and spectrally compatible with Opteks standard detector products such as the OP550 series phototransistors, OP530 series photodarlingtons and the OP900 series photodiodes.

• High thermal stability
• Low drive current
• High output power
