High Power Infrared Emitters gain in popularity


Edison-opto's high power infrared (IR) Edixeon Emitters are becoming one of the more sought after products offered by IDEA Components. The high-power IR LED emits wavelengths at 850 nm and are available in a 1W package. They reach 400mW but can reach 700mW/sr by utilizing some of Edison's secondary optic products.

We've not been able to find any other high power IR products by the leading high power LED manufacturers that can match Edison-opto's performance.

::: Here is Edison Opto's original press release in the original English ;) ::::
"Edison Opto Corporation is a Taiwan based High Power LED packaging manufacturer, who is dedicated to become the High Power LED total solution provider. Recently Edison successfully developed a series of Infrared High Power LEDs (0.7W-2W) --- known as the IR Edixeon range.

IR Edixeon LEDs can be driven at 700 mA or 1000mA and reach 280mW and 400mW. IR Edixeon LEDs bring a new solution for the light source for night vision systems, where their small dimension, high intensity and high reliability offer enhanced performance.

The original emitting angle of IR Edixeon LEDs is 120 degrees, but with suitable Secondary Optics, the intensity can increase to 700mW/sr. The IR Edixeon is available in two different wavelengths of 850 nm and 940 nm for different application."


Edison-opto's High Power Infrared (High power IR) LED is available at IDEA Components. In fact these high power LEDs are usually in stock and ship the next day after receiving orders at IDEA Components.
