InAsSb Infrared Detector for High Sensitivity Measurements in the 5 µm Spectral Band
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the world’s first commercially available Indium Arsenide Antimonide (InAsSb) detector, the P11120-901. The new detector provides peak sensitivity in the 5 µm infrared spectral band and operates over the entire range from 1.6 µm to 5.8 µm. This high sensitivity is realised via Hamamatsu’s unique crystal growth technology. The InAsSb photodiode used in the P11120-901 has a planar structure which ensures a high s...

New 638nm Red Laser Diode with the World’s Highest Output Power of 500mW by Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric is introducing a new red laser diode, dubbed the ML520G72. It offers the world’s highest output power compared to all laser diodes in the 638nm wavelength region and so it is perfectly suited to pico projector applications or other portable display systems requiring a red light source with high brightness. The ML520G72’s output power of 500mW helps with the design of high-luminous LD-based projectors and can provide a lumi...
MAX17127: Highly integrated six-string WLED driver for notebooks and netbooks
Maxim introduced the MAX17127, a six-string WLED driver that provides a complete backlighting solution for notebooks and netbooks. The high-performance step-up controller integrates a 48V MOSFET capable of driving up to 13 LEDs/string. This integration reduces BOM cost and saves board space by eliminating an external MOSFET. The step-up controller frequency can be programmed from 250kHz to 1MHz, allowing flexibility in selecting external compone...
OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ OSTAR Product Platform Offers Multiple Solutions for Automotive Lighting, Safety, Convenience and Control
LEDs offer automakers significant advantages over conventional lighting solutions. Their efficiency provides major energy savings which can be reflected in lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. They will also outlast the vehicle itself in most cases, effectively eliminating lamp replacements and reducing potential warranty costs. The use of LEDs can also enhance driver safety by illuminating the road surface with high definition and r...
