Hamamatsu reveals high output 870nm LED
The III-V based LED is suited for optical fibre communications
Hamamatsu Photonics has launched a new 870nm LED, the L11368 to its range of high quality LEDs.
L11368 LED module
This new LED features a special microball lens that is bonded to the LED chip surface, with an additional mini-lens within the can package to make a very narrow emission beam.
This process allows for highly efficient input of the beam into an optical fibre. The new device features a cut-off frequency of 50Mhz and a high fibre end output of 65µW. The new LED is packaged in a high reliability TO can.
Hamamatsu says the high speed and output power make the L11368 an ideal and affordable solution for optical fibre communications.
