Adding the OSRAM SFH 4718A IRED means the OSLON Black portfolio now comprises three wavelengths (810nm, 850nm and 940nm) and three beam angles (±25, ±45 and ±75 degrees), with optical outputs ranging from 0.3W to 2W.
Optical output is 0.8W at 1A, and radiant intensity is 730 W/sr. The device’s 850 nm wavelength is barely discernible by humans, but lies within the sensitivity range of the camera sensors.
The IREDs come in a small 3.75 × 3.75mm package with a low thermal resistance of 16 K/W (max) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection to 2kV, and it is ideal for a range of security and recognition applications, including 3D image capture and facial-scan access control.
Engineers can also use the IREDs in systems to illuminate areas monitored by closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, as well as for automatic license plate recognition systems.
