Optical Components

Discover the optical components manufactured by our company: from photodiode arrays to special and custom detectors, from semiconductor phototransistors to components for optical fibre, from optical reflection sensors to infrared LEDs.

Photodiodes

Photodiode arrays are used in rotary and linear encoders, optical barriers, presence sensors and optical and X-ray sorting machines. The photodiode arrays are available in SMD plastic or ceramic, Metal TO and Chip-on-Board (COB) packages. The standard OID7 photodiode component is 100 % compatible with OPR2100.Features: High Responsivity (> 0.65 A/W @ = p) High quantum efficiency (> 90% @ Vr=5V) Extended temperature range -40°C +125°C Wide active area Fast response time Low Dark Current Fully compatible with OPR2100-OL2100-PA2100

Special Detectors

We can realise special and customised components based on specific customer requirements. Encoder components without encapsulating resin provide superior robustness and are thus able to withstand thermal shocks.Features Resistant to soldering processes, MSL2 High uniformity of silicon cells (< 10%) Monolithic construction Low optical pitch (0.45mm) High temperature range Reference holes on the package for precise mounting Reference dots on the package for high accuracy mounting Reticle assembly service available

Phototransistors

Phototransistors are semiconductor devices that amplify the current generated by the photovoltaic effect using junctions; these optical components offer similar performance to the photodiode but are much more sensitive to light. Specifically, a phototransistor is a semiconductor device that can detect light levels and alter the current flow between the emitter and collector according to the amount of light received.Features High uniformity of silicon cells High temperature range High transparency resin High gain Designed to meet industrial specifications Reference holes for precise mounting Reference dots for very precise mounting

Components for Optical Fibre

Our components for optical fibre are photoASIC-based transmitters and LED receivers with integrated electronics; developed for industrial communications with high-resolution CMOS technology with a max baud rate of 20 Mbps, they are also suitable for the SERCOS II standard. Our fibre optic receivers are 100% compatible with the HFD7000.Features Very High Optical Sensitivity Wide Dynamic Range Data Rate up to 16Mbps Working also in DC mode and low frequency High robustness (double metal package) Open collector output 100% manufactured in Europe

Reflective Sensors

Reflective optical sensors are used in a wide range of applications requiring reflective sensors that do not only detect the presence of an object but also its relative proximity.Features Unfocused for sensing diffused surface SMT package High uniformity Very stable measurements High gain phototransistor No contact surface sensing Low profile Low cost Milling on the backside for side PCB mounting

LED

We supply standard infra-red LEDs (near-infrared 870-880nm) to match our high-quality, high-intensity photodiodes and phototransistors with parallel light beams and divergence of 5° for the encoder industry.Features Low price Uses low cost lens TO-18 Metal-Glass Case Enclosure Infrared Light Emitting at 870 nm Compatible with OIL10S06 GaAlAs LED Parallel Light Beam TO-18 Metal-Glass Case Enclosure Infrared Light Emitting at 880 nm RoHS Compliant

Custom LEDs

We develop customised LED array solutions with different wavelengths on SMD and TO packages. High quality and reliability are guaranteed by rigorously monitored assembly and inspection processes.
