Description:

The OPV300 / OPV310 / OPV314 series are high performance 850nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser

(VCSEL). The OPV300 and OPV310 are designed to be utilized for sensing applications as well as air

transmission of data. The OPV314 is designed for high speed communication links. The OPV310 / OPV314

combine all the performance advantages of a VCSEL with the addition of a power monitor diode for precise

control of optical power. The OPV310 and OPV314 have a back monitor photodiode used for optical power

management or optical reception for data communication applications.

The OPV300 / OPV310 have a flat lens while the OPV314 has a microbead lens. Refer to mechanical

drawings for details.

The high performance 850nm VCSEL is designed for applications where low current is required with high on-

axis optical power. These product’s combine features including high speed, high output optical power and

concentric beam making it an ideal transmitter for integration into all types of data communications equipment

as well as for reflective and transmissive switches.

Operating Temperature Range

0°C to +70°C

Maximum Forward Peak Current, continuous

12 mA

5 V

Max. Continuous Optical Power at 70° C

1.1 mW

Lead Soldering Temperature

260°C for 10 sec.

Storage Temperature Range

-40°C to +100°C

Maximum Forward Current, pulsed (1 µs P.W., 10% D.C.)

Notes:

(1) Threshold Current is based on the two line intersection method specified in Telcordia

GR-468-Core. Line 1 from 4 mA to 6 mA. Line 2 from 0 mA to 0.5 mA.

(2) Series Resistance is the slope of the Voltage-Current line from 5 to 8 mA.

(3) Slope efficiency is the slope of the best fit LI line from 5 mA to 8 mA using no larger

than .25 mA test interval points.

(4) Using data points taken for slope efficiency above, delta L/delta I shall be calculated for

each adjacent pair of points.
