OPV330

OPV330 Features:  850 nm VCSEL technology  High thermal stability  Low drive current  High output power  Narrow beam angle Description: The OPV330 is a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged in a flat lens lateral package. VCSELs 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. The flat lens packaging allows the device to be used with secondary optics to create custom beam profiles. The OPV330 is optically and spectrally compatible with Optek’s standard detector products such as the OP550 series phototransistors, OP530 series photodarlingtons and the OP900 series photodiodes. Applications:  Non-contact position sensing  Photoelectric sensors  Optical encoders  Light curtains Emission Surface VCSEL 12 The VCSEL is a class 3b laser and is to be treated as a potential eye hazard. Due to the size of the component, the applicable warning logotype, aperture label, and certification/identification label can not be placed on the component itself.
