The OP230WPS is an 850nm GaAlAs, point source, infrared emitting diode mounted in a hermetic flat lens,
TO-46 metal can package. The advantage of this emitter is that it emits photons from a 0.004” area that is
aligned with the package optical centerline. Unlike other GaAlAs emitters, this device performs more like an
ideal point source and is suitable for use with lenses to create collimated light sources that can be used in and
a variety of sensing applications.
Applications include:
• Optical Encoders
• Light Curtains
• Optical Triangulation Systems
• Bar Code Readers
