Descripon:

Each device in this series is a gallium aluminum arsenide (GaAIAs) infrared eming diode, mounted in a hermec metal TO‐

46 housing. The gallium aluminum arsenide feature provides a higher radiated output than gallium arsenide at the same

forward current.

Each OP231, OP232, OP233, OP234 and OP235 device is lensed to provide a narrow beam angle (18°) between half power

points. The 890 nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon phototransistors, while the narrow beam

angle – combined with the speciﬁed radiant intensity of the OP231 series – facilitates easy design in beam interrupt

applicaons in conjuncon with the OP800 or OP598 series photosensors. TheOP231seriesismechanicallyandspectrally

matchedtoOP800,OP593andOP598phototransistors.

Each OP231W, OP232W, OP233W, OP234W and OP235W device is lensed to provide a wide beam angle (50°) between half

power points. The 890 nm wavelength closely matches the spectral response of silicon photo‐transistors, while the wide

beam angle provides relavely even illuminaon over a large area. TheOP231Wismechanicallyandspectrallymatched

to

theOP800WSLandOP830SLseriesdevices.
