ams OSRAM adds 920nm variant to OSLON Black and SYNIOS P2720 IR LED ranges
ams OSRAM GmbH of Premstätten, Austria and Munich, Germany says that its OSLON Black and SYNIOS P2720 infrared (IR) LED product series, which are mainly deployed in industrial facilities, are now also available with an emission wavelength of 920nm. The technologies are used primarily in biometrics (e.g. 2D face recognition) and consumer applications (e.g. smart doorbell). Brighter IR illumination at the optimum wavelength of 920nm enables the IR camera to see a better image of a person by optimizing the necessary compromise between sensor sensitivity and reddish glow.
The new variant of the product series is thus a suitable choice especially for customers working on camera-based illumination systems who are looking for the ideal compromise between an 850nm and a 940nm high-power IR LED.
The OSLON Black high-power infrared emitters are therefore now available in the 850nm, 920nm and 940nm wavelengths. The devices combine a particularly high total optical flux and small housings with a base area of only 3.75mm x 3.75mm for a high-density assembly.
Further advantages include a very high total radiant flux at a current of 1A DC, low thermal resistance for operation at high ambient temperatures, as well as high-current DC operation.
The SYNIOS P2720 products have a very low height of 0.6mm and are thus suitable for narrow applications that still require high efficiency. The products do not come with an integrated lens, but secondary optics are available for narrow beam angles.
The compact design with high power output makes the infrared LED suiable for security applications, 2D face recognition, and gesture recognition in consumer and industrial applications.
