LED for POF Data Communications
WELWYN GARDEN CITY, England, July 19, 2010 — Hamamatsu Photonics UK Ltd. has introduced the L10762 resonant cavity LED for plastic optical fiber (POF) data communications.
The company says that the red-emitting resonant cavity LED offers seven times the fiber end output power compared to conventional types. This is achieved by bonding a microball lens to the LED chip surface, greatly increasing the coupling efficiency to optical fibers by focusing the emitted light into the fiber.
The increase in fiber end output power, the...
