OSRAM's expands its established OSLON Black portfolio for infrared illumination with the addition of the SFH 4718A, an infrared LED with a narrower beam angle of ±25°, which means illumination units for camera systems with a medium capture range no longer require secondary optics.

The SFH 4770S from Osram Opto Semiconductors is currently the most compact infrared LED (IRED) in the high-power class. Its low height is of particular benefit in smartphones and tablets. The high optical output of typically 1200 milliwatts (mW) and broad emission characteristics make this IRED ideal for facial recognition and eye-tracking systems which can activate applications in response to blinking instead of the usual double-click.

For smart lighting solutions and all kinds of colored lighting applications, customers now can rely on the new Duris S 5 Color LEDs from Osram Opto Semiconductors. There are four color versions – Red, Amber, Green and Deep Blue – offering high efficacy and excellent temperature stability. The footprint of 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm complies with industrial standards.
