NIR LED Array Enters High-Power Arena

Embarking as the first in a series of high power LED arrays, the OD-850-30-030 30-die, near-infrared (NIR) LED array promises highly efficient operation and higher power with a narrow beam angle of 30°. The device specifies a peak wavelength of 850 nm (840-nm minimum and 865-nm maximum) and a total optical power output of 16W. Suitable for night-vision and skin-therapy apps, operating temperature is from -20°C to +100°C. Maximum junction temperature is +125°C with a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 0.8°C/W.
