Intergalactic performance

Thinfilm technology allows the new IR DRAGON to achieve a wall plug efficiency of approx. 30 %. This corresponds to approximately half the value that can be achieved using semiconductor lasers and is superior to using spontaneous emitters.

A star in reliability

The new IR DRAGON also has an extraordinarily long lifetime in DC mode, showing extremely stable behaviour. Furthermore, the package demonstrates a very good thermal design.

Easy design and management

The top emitting die allows easy design of external lenses.

A galaxy of applications

The wavelengths are designed for all CMOS/CCD camera applications. Additionally the IR DRAGON is qualified for automotive applications.

No visible red glow

The 940 nm version of the IR Dragon offers enough power for the camera sensor. At the same time, it does not emit any red light.
