Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser in Plastic Lateral Package Features * * * * 850nm VCSEL Technology High thermal stability Low drive current/high output intensity Plastic Lateral Flat convex lens for extra narrow beam angle. Description The OPV282 is a high performance 850nm VCSEL packaged for sensing applications. This product's combination of features including high speed, high output power and concentric beam makes it an ideal transmitter for integration into all types of position sensing equipment. Absolute Maximum Ratings (TA = 25 C unless otherwise noted) Applications include: Operating Temperature Maximum Forward Peak Current 30 mA Maximum Reverse Voltage 5 Volts Storage Temperature Soldering Lead Temperature Photoelectric Sensors Light Curtains Position Sensors Encoders -40 to +125C -40 to +85 C 260 C for 10 Seconds Additional laser safety information can be found on the Optek website. See application #221. Classification is not marked on the device due to space limitations. See package outline for centerline of optical radiance. Operating devices beyond maximum rating may result in hazardous radiation exposure. September 2003 Issue 2.1 Optek Technology, Inc.
