Vishay Intertechnology has expanded its optoelectronics portfolio with the release of six new 850 nm and 940 nm high power infrared (IR) emitters that are built on Vishay’s SurfLight surface emitter chip technology and deliver best in class radiant intensity in 3.4mm by 3.4mm surface-mount packages. These new devices are designed for high drive currents up to 1.5 A DC and 5 A pulsed in industrial and consumer applications.
Featuring a double-stack chip, these IR emitters provide high radiant intensity up to 6,000mW/sr at a 5A pulse current and are ideal for eye tracking in gaming, as well as night vision for CCTV, machine vision, toll systems, number plate recognition, and general IR illumination. These devices enable greater illumination distance while minimizing the number of components required to lower costs and save space.
