Why choose infra-red LEDs

As part of our specialised production of high-performance optical components, infra-red LEDs are primarily used in combination with photosensors and provide a lower cost and longer lifetime than laser diodes.
Optoi infra-red LEDs are used in several sectors; however, their primary applications are in combination with our phototransistors and photodiodes in the production of encoders due to their high accuracy.

Photodiodes

Photodiode arrays are used in rotary and linear encoders, optical barriers, presence sensors and optical and X-ray sorting machines. The photodiode arrays are available in SMD plastic or ceramic, Metal TO and Chip-on-Board (COB) packages. The standard OID7 photodiode component is 100 % compatible with OPR2100.Features: High Responsivity (> 0.65 A/W @ = p) High quantum efficiency (> 90% @ Vr=5V) Extended temperature range -40°C +125°C Wide active area Fast response time Low Dark Current Fully compatible with OPR2100-OL2100-PA2100

Special Detectors

We can realise special and customised components based on specific customer requirements. Encoder components without encapsulating resin provide superior robustness and are thus able to withstand thermal shocks.Features Resistant to soldering processes, MSL2 High uniformity of silicon cells (< 10%) Monolithic construction Low optical pitch (0.45mm) High temperature range Reference holes on the package for precise mounting Reference dots on the package for high accuracy mounting Reticle assembly service available

Phototransistors

Phototransistors are semiconductor devices that amplify the current generated by the photovoltaic effect using junctions; these optical components offer similar performance to the photodiode but are much more sensitive to light. Specifically, a phototransistor is a semiconductor device that can detect light levels and alter the current flow between the emitter and collector according to the amount of light received.Features High uniformity of silicon cells High temperature range High transparency resin High gain Designed to meet industrial specifications Reference holes for precise mounting Reference dots for very precise mounting
