New LED from Hamamatsu for POF Data Communication
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new L10762 resonant cavity LED for POF (Plastic Optical Fibre) data communication. The new L10762 is a red emitting resonant cavity LED that offers 7 times the fibre end output power compared to conventional types; this is achieved by bonding a microball lens to the LED chip surface. The microball lens greatly increases the coupling efficiency to optical fibres by focusing the emitted light into the fibre.
