Derate linearly 4.0mA/°C from 25°C free air temperature to TA = +125°C. AlGaAs emitter. High power output is 3. Derate linearly 4.0mW/°C from 25°C free air temperature to TA = +125°C. achieved with four equally spaced 4. Operation at this level requires a proper heat sink. cathode contacts for higher current distribution. Cathode contacts are bonded in pairs, each pair bonded to a separate lead, which need to be connected during operation. Chip size is 0.030” by 0.030”. The TO-46 header provides reliable operation over a wide temperature range. electrical characteristics (TA = 25°C unless otherwise noted) symbol PO VF IR λp BW θHP tr, tf parameter Total power output Forward voltage Reverse current Peak emission wavelength Spectral bandwidth at half power i t Emission angle at half power points Radiation rise and fall time min typ max units - 8.0 1.65 880 45 100 700 1.8 10 - mW V µA nm nm deg. ns test conditions IF = 100mA IF = 100mA VR = 5V IF = 100mA IF = 100mA IF = 100mA IF(PK) = 100mA, f = 1kHz, D.C. = 50% Clairex reserves the right to make changes at any time to improve design and to provide the best possible product.
