1N6266
GaAs INFRARED EMITTING DIODE
INFRARED EMITTING DIODE RADIANT INTENSITY
The design of an Infrared Emitting Diode (IRED)-photodetector system normally requires the designer to determine
the minimum amount of infrared irradiance received by the
photodetector, which then allows definition of the photodetector current. Prior to the introduction of the 1N6266, the
best method of estimating the photodetector received
infrared was to geometrically proportion the piecewise integration of the typical beam pattern with the specified minimum total power output of the IRED. However, due to
inconsistencies of the IRED integral lenses and the beam
lobes, this procedure will not provide a valid estimation.
The 1N6266 now provides the designer specifications
which precisely define the infrared beam along the device’s
mechanical axis. The 1N6266 is a premium device selected to give a minimum radiant intensity of 25 mW/steradian
into the 0.01 steradians referenced by the the device’s
mechanical axis and seating plane. Radiant intensity is the
IRED beam power output, within a specified solid angle,
per unit solid angle.
A quick review of geometry indicates that a steradian is a
unit of solid angle, referenced to the center of a sphere,
defined by 4 H times the ratio of the area projected by the
solid angle to the area of the sphere. The solid angle is
equal to the projected area divided by the squared radius.
Steradians = 4 H A/4 H R2 = A/R2 = N
As the projected area has a circular periphery, a geometric
integration will solve to show the relationship of the
Cartesian angle () of the cone, (from the center of the
sphere) to the projected area.
N= 2 H(1 - COS )

Radiant intensity provides an easy, accurate tool to calculate the infrared power received by a photodetector located on the IRED axis. As the devices are selected for
beam characteristics, the calculated results are valid for
worst case analysis. For many applications a simple
approximation for photodetector irradiance is:
H ≅ Ie/d2, in mw/cm2
where d is the distance from the IRED to the detector in
cm.
IRED power output, and therefore Ie, depends on IRED
current. This variation (Ie/I) is documented in Figure 3,
and completes the approximation: H = Ie/d2 (Ie/I). This
normally gives a conservative value of irradiance. For
more accurate results, the effect of precise angle viewed
by the detector must be considered. This is documented
in figure 8 (Ie/N) giving:
H = Ie/d2 (Ie/N) in mw/cm2
For worst case designs, temperature coefficients and tolerances must be considered.
The minimum output current of the detector (IL) can be
determined for a given distance (d) of the detector from
the IRED.
IL = (S)H ≅ (S) Ie/d2
or
IL = (S)H = (S) (Ie/d2) (Ie/N) (Ie/I)
where S is the sensitivity of the detector in terms of output current per unit irradiance from a GaAs source.

MATCHING A PHOTOTRANSISTOR WITH 1N6266
Assume a system requiring a 10 mA IL at an IRED to detector spacing of 2 cm (seating plane to seating plane), with
bias conditions at specification points.
Given: d1 = 2 cm, IL = 10 mA min.; Ie = 25 mW/Steradian
Then: H1 ≅ Ie/d12 = 25/(2)2 = 6.25 mW/cm2
