Opto Diode Corp, a division in the Photonics Group of ITW, has launched the OD-669-850 high-power gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAlAs) infrared LED (IRLED) illuminator. Suitable for night-vision illumination tasks, it features ultra-high optical output, from minimum of 800mW to 1250mW and a peak emission wavelength of 850nm. Spectral bandwidth at 50% is typically 40nm, and the half-intensity beam angle is 120 degrees. All surfaces on the standard 2-lead, TO-66 electrically isolated package are gold plate. The OD-669-850’s operating and storage tempera...
