IF-E97: Plastic Fiber Optic Super-Bright LED

Description

The IF-E93 is a high-optical-output, visible red LED housed in a "connector-less" style plastic fiber optic package. The output spectrum is produced by a GaA1As die which peaks at 600 nm, one of the optimal transmission windows of PMMA plastic optical fiber. The device package features an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to ensure efficient optical coupling with standard 10090 µm core plastic fiber cable.

Application Highlights

The high output and excellent linearity of the IF-E97 make it suitable for analog and digital data links. The IF-E97 can achieve data rates of 1 Mbps when used with an IF-D96 photologic detector. The visible red light has low attenuation in PMMA plastic fiber and aids in troubleshooting installations. The drive circuit design is simpler than required for laser diodes, making the IF-E97 the lowest cost selection for a variety of analog and digital applications requiring maximum operating distance.
