IR DRAGON Family

The IR DRAGON benefits are unique in the infrared galaxy

Intergalactic performance

Thinfilm technology allows the IR DRAGON to achieve a wall-plug efficiency of approx. 35%. 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 IR DRAGON also has an extraordinarily long lifetime in DC mode, showing extremely stable behaviour. Furthermore, the package demonstrates a very good thermal design.

A galaxy of applications

The wavelength is designed for all CMOS/CCD camera applications. The IR DRAGON is also qualified for automotive applications.

The IR DRAGON is suited for all infrared illumination projects. With this product, you can leap into a new galaxy of applications. The following examples are based on infrared illumination:

Automotive

• Pre-crash sensor
• Seat occupancy
• Driver assistance systems

Industrial

• Surveillance system (CCTV)
• Machine security systems

Consumer

• Night vision flashlights for camera
