Lumileds has added a new offering, the LUXEON IR Domed Asymmetric, to its LUXEON IR Emitters Family. The new product matches the Field-of-View (FoV) aspect ratio of typical cameras used in surveillance, machine vision and time-of-flight systems. The 95 x 58° design dramatically improves image uniformity.

The asymmetric dome targets long range applications such as professional surveillance and machine vision systems as well as Time-of-Flight applications that rely on image uniformity across an entire field. By matching the sensor’s aspect ratio, Lumileds got the highest utilization of light by uniformly matching the FoV of the camera. This increases system efficiency and offers a path to lower system cost and better performance.

The LUXEON IR Domed Asymmetric delivers state of the art radiant power of 1350 mW at 850 nm and 1450 mW at 940 nm. The emitters are offered in a 3.7 x 3.7 mm package with standard 3-pad configuration for direct upgrade of existing circuit board designs. Component quality is ensured by the use of the highest quality silicone dome, gold-finished solder pads and gold-based bond wires for corrosion resistance. The ceramic package utilizes the industry’s lowest thermal resistance substrate (2.5°C/W) for rapid removal of heat, smaller optics and more compact camera designs.

Lumileds has lifetime information including L70 data available for its LUXEON IR Emitters Family.
