Model LED38-PR
•Light Emitting Diodes
LED38-PR
are designed for emitting at a spectral
range around 3800 nm. Heterostructures (HS) are grown on InAs
substrates. The output emission can be modulated by current flowing in
a forward direction.
•Light Emitting Diodes
LED38-PR
are developed for using in optical gas
sensors and medical diagnostics. They have stable output power and
lifetime more then 10000 hours.
•Related products: Our standard
LED Driver
provides power supply of
LED38-PR
in two recommended here regimes (Quasi-CW and Pulsed).
