Request InfoHamamatsu CorporationHamamatsu Corp.'s L8506 infrared LED emits a collimated light beam to produce the uniform light spot needed for use in optical encoders. The company says the device's high-speed response and reliability make it suitable for other applications that require a precision light source, such as in optical switches. The L8506 employs an aspheric lens that allows the LED to discharge a light beam with a directivity of ±5°. Typical specifications include a 4.3-mm spot size, response of 40 MHz and peak emission wavelength cutoff frequency of 870 nm. A nonconfined structure chip that does not easily...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/12/2023A Proven, Portable, and PIC-Based Methodology for Cultivating a Next-Generation WorkforceWith the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act and growing demand for photonic integrated circuit technology, the semiconductor industry is once again gaining momentum.
